Love Songs For The Apocalypse (Split with Mantits) (2005)
Lyrics:

Life's like the feeling when you had a point but forgot it
Had a ticket for my train of thought but I lost it
God gave me instructions on how to live my life
But I couldn't read his handwriting so i burnt them last night

But I take the beauty of chaos over ugly perfection

I've woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
I can feel myself slipping away from any chance of redemption
But that's okay 'cause if it's where Falwell goes then I don't even want any part of heaven

A guy on TV offered to save my soul toll free
But that would have required getting up off the couch so I was too lazy
Instead I wait in the bushes outside of a cop's house holding a twelve guage

God isn't dead but I'll get that bastard someday!

And I take the beauty of my chaos over any one else's perfection

I've still woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
Nothing scares me as much as the fact that I don't give a shit for redemption
But that's okay 'cause if it's where Limbaugh goes then I don't even want any part of heaven

Hail satan!


Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains were a nihilist drug punk/anarchist folk-punk band from southern Vermont. They didn't hop freight trains. They did like to drink forties by the train tracks where the police wouldn't bother them. Most shows were a solo acoustic performance, but the full band at various times included Flash-C (trumpet) Ian Skumfuck (washtub bass) Jeff-face (harmonica) Roman (bicycle) Michael Jordan (drums) Wyatt (harmonica).

The last show was in 2007. There is no source to order physical copies of Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains music, but a variety of online torrents and other pirated sources are available. The band has given full support to pirating Johnny Hobo music, and any other music you want.

Lead songwriter Pat ''The Bunny'' (Pat Schneeweis) went on to play similar music with less destructive lyrical content in Wingnut Dishwashers Union, until entering rehab for drug addiction in late 2009. He is currently writing songs and playing in the Tucson-based punk rock band Ramshackle Glory.
