about

Johnny - written/recorded/produced by Shaun Blanch

lyrics

They never did know what to make of him
Except that he was filled with sin
Ya Johnny

Couldn’t understand what he was going through
They just sent him right on back to school
Ya Johnny
Thought they could “fix” him

Conversion is what they said
You got these wrong thoughts in your head
You need to think this way instead

Without knowing what he wanted or who he was his life they punted all because
He’s Johnny

How can one be defined?
For never falling in line
You don’t know what is mine
And our views don’t align

So he said to his old life “R-I-P”
Its time to flee - he climbed aboard a bus to NYC
J-O-H-NN-Y

The shelter wasn’t safe but he needed a place
Till one night when awoke there was a gun in the face of Johnny
It’s time to move on

So then he went to a park the one named Zuccotti
Young Johnny walking round he ain’t hurt nobody
Heard Johnny was running from a terrible fate
Street sleeping while I’m praying it’s not all too late
Such a risky life with prospects of murder
So he searched and found a program he heard of
Ya Johnny

Won’t be played for no fool
And he won’t follow your rules
Cause you don’t know what to do
And your world is misconstrued

Still the story goes on
And his will keeps him strong
He will right all the wrong
We ain’t in this world long
