Johny Hit and Run Paulene Lyrics
To shoot a sex machine drug
He got 24 hours
To shoot all Paulene's between the legs he'll throw
96 tears through 24 hours
Sexed once every hour
Kicking both doors open
When it rested on 6th street
That's when he drug a girl inside
He was spreading her legs and didn't understand dying
She was still awake
Beside the bed
He found clumps of hair
The last Paulene wouldn't cooperate
She wasn't what you'd call living really
But she was still awake
Pretty brutal, disturbing lyrics. It tells the story of "date rape" and knockout drugs like GHB. The main character, Johnny, is obviously a hideously amoral person who first knocks out his victims. Names don't matter, personalities don't matter, souls don't matter. They're just "sex machine" bodies to him. They might as well all be named Paulene, for all Johnny cares. When the last "Paulene" doesn't cooperate (she evidently stays awake and probably resists), he takes violent action against her, ripping out hair and probably doing worse to her, because Paulene is left in either a drugged, zombie-like stupor (not quite living, not quite dead), or she is in a coma. Brutal story. Should be enough to shock any listener into understanding, and being disgusted by, the realities of "date rape" drugs.
yep... it's an anti-rape song.
this song is about rape "he found clumps of hair the last paulene wouldn't cooperate"
Its more complicated than rape its more about a drug manufactured that allows this man to have sex once every hour but instead of just being able to he needs to and so it leads to rape and murder. This was before viagra was invented mind you.
Obviosly about rape, but I'm not sure how much deeper it goes. Anyway, it's a good song. It's a weird song to use that Johnny B. Goode riff in though..
this song is not about ghb or date rape drugs. in "decline of western civilization" john doe talks about how it stemmed from a conversation between he and exene about a fictional drug that would allow men to have sex every hour for 24 hours. the rest of the song is obviously about rape to satisfy this ability/need.
A guy named Johny buys a drug that allows males to have sex every hour for 24 hours. Johny goes on a rampage across LA, raping women. When the drug wears off, Johny wakes up to discover a girl that he brutalized next to him in a coma. Johny thinks so little of women that he refers to all women as 'Pauline'. John Doe came up with the idea of the drug...
@thegitsfan What’s interesting is, most young men (I’m assuming Johnny is aged something like 18-25) don’t NEED any help having sex “once every hour”). I didn’t, anyway, and I’ve heard talk my whole life that leads me to believe I was not alone!. In fact i remember it being as much of a hassle as enjoyable ????

he plans the rape he will inject her and i think she was end up in a coma
it's certainly a song about rape and the use of drugs.
I remember reading in some review or other that this song was "vaugley disturbing". I don't see anything vauge about it, it is disturbing. But really, one my fav X songs. Agree with the above about being anti-rape, and the drug connection.
