Johnny

[Chorus]

Teacher, teacher can't tell me nothing

Only word I learned was dysfunction

Ahh, yeah, ah

Mom and daddy, you just don't get it

All the kids at school say I'm different

Ahh, yeah, ah

[Verse 1]

Johnny's got a loaded .45

Found it in his dad's shoebox

Johnny doesn't wanna be alive

But he's gotta make his school stop

He's, sick of being bullied, his mother's starting to worry

But she doesn't want to ask him or try to call the authorities

Now he is on the bus, again it's just another morning

But he doesn't got a book, he's got a gun without a warning

(He's gotta gun!)

[Verse 2]

Cindy's got a scholarship to Yale (Yale)

Wants to be a nurse and spread love (Help people)

Cindy's moving out before the fall

Only got a week 'til school's done

Taking every final is easy, she doesn't mind 'em

She's always nice to the kids that are coming in way behind her

She would never hurt a fly or bat an eye, she's way too kind

But then a flash and then a cry and sees Johnny with a rifle

[Chorus]

Teacher, teacher can't tell me nothing

Only word I learned was dysfunction

Ahh, yeah, ah

Mom and daddy, you just don't get it

All the kids at school say I'm different

Ahh, yeah, ah

[Verse 3]

Johnny sees Cindy in the hall (Get the fuck--)

Runs to go and get her by the hair (Come here bitch)

Cindy didn't want to be involved (Not me please!)

Johnny says "Stay the fuck here" (Stay the fuck here)

Starts to hear sirens and everybody is crying

The police are outside and now Cindy's inside a closet (Police!)

And she doesn't want to die, she's got a bible in her pocket

But where the fuck is God when the world's getting way too violent?

Eyes, closed

Praying for her life while the shots, go

Screaming for the cops but they're not, close

She's not writing letters, but where's John Doe?

He's right here

Grabs Cindy by her bright white hair (Come here)

Says to be quiet or your life ends here

But the door breaks down and now John gets scared

So he puts the gun to her head, life ain't fair

"Let me tell you about my life quick, I'm the fuckin' shy kid

At the party I'm the kid that never got invited

I'm the one that failed every test, every problem

It's not fucking fair you're in Yale for your college

Goddamn my mom can't stand she's drunk

Pop xans, I can't stand feeling numb

Stop moving Cindy! You squeal too much!"

"Pop" goes the gun, another school shot at

[Chorus]

Teacher, teacher can't tell me nothing

Only word I learned was dysfunction

Ahh, yeah, ah

Mom and daddy, you just don't get it

All the kids at school say I'm different

Ahh, yeah, ah

[Outro]

Reporting live from [beep] high school

We're now learning more about the terrible event that took place

And what can drive someone that seemed like a normal kid

To do something so evil and inhumane

We're asking everyone and anyone that sees warning signs

To please offer help and love and compassion

To those who need it

Together we can make a difference
