John the Fisherman Lyrics

Cover art for John the Fisherman lyrics by Primus

This is my all time favorite Primus song. It's about a man who as a child loved fishing, but everyone shunned him for it. When he got older, he became a professional fisherman, but he soon died when his boat sank during a storm. Very simple, but still good. I hate the fact that people always say "I heard this song on Guitar Hero". Let me tell you a few things: 1. This was the song that got me into Primus, 2. I didn't hear it on Guitar Hero, because I never played it, and 3. Guitar Hero is for people who can't play a real guitar. Les Claypool didn't get to be who he is from playing a fake guitar. PRIMUS SUCKS!!
