ring me, ring me, ring me up the/ president/find out where my/ baby went/
ring me, ring me, ringe me up the/ FBI/ find out if my/ baby's alive!

then, for the oh-owo-oh's just repeat the chorus. the verse again, and that's
about it. if you're skeptical, just play along with the song, i think this tab
is pretty accurate.and for the record, this tab is dedicated to staci savage.

This song rocks so much and it is so fucking sad. Realistically, it probably is about how Johnny stole Joey's gf (Johnny was essential to Ramones and music, but he was also a prick). Joey went into depression and never really spoke about it cuz he was quite introverted and shy. thinking this song actually is about a dude's gf being abducted by the KKK is still alright though. It can make this song a powerful stance against hate crimes and racism the manson version of this song is amazing, but i wouldn't recommend it to people if they dont enjoy manson music

Marylin Manson doing anything sucks. How could he rape "Another Brick in the Wall" like that? Anyway, interesting song, glad I now have an idea of what it's based on.

It's about how his girlfriend has gone on holiday and not come back and he is making up reasons about what might have happened, when really she has just left him. It has nothing to do with the KKK or racism or anything like that.

no it's not. It's someone who's girlfriend went on vacation and was murdered by the KKK. This is a good song.

Apparently Johnny was a 'card holder' of the Ku Klux Klan. In On The Road With The Ramones, it says it in there.

I love the Ramones, they prove that songs don't have to be all serious, and they can be fun and mean nothing.
