Down the street of the murderous heart
Past the house of the smiling face
Walked Johnny - the perfect son
Oh Johnny - Johnny the good man.
He just got back from corruption town
His eyeballs pulsed like a Rock 'n' Roll drum
There goes Johnny - Johnny the straight talking man
Oh Johnny - Johnny worn and Johnny tire
They say Johnny's heart burst
They say he fell dead upon his face
He'd had too much of tears and hate
Johnny was a good man
Oh Johnny
He couldn't say no to too much, too late
Don't let them bring you down Johnny
Unfortunate brother
They're gonna put you down Johnny
Put you down on the ground
He was good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good man
They're gonna put you down on the ground Johnny
Oh Johnny
He was a good man
Oh Johnny
Past the house of the smiling face
Walked Johnny - the perfect son
Oh Johnny - Johnny the good man.
He just got back from corruption town
His eyeballs pulsed like a Rock 'n' Roll drum
There goes Johnny - Johnny the straight talking man
Oh Johnny - Johnny worn and Johnny tire
They say Johnny's heart burst
They say he fell dead upon his face
He'd had too much of tears and hate
Johnny was a good man
Oh Johnny
He couldn't say no to too much, too late
Don't let them bring you down Johnny
Unfortunate brother
They're gonna put you down Johnny
Put you down on the ground
He was good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good man
They're gonna put you down on the ground Johnny
Oh Johnny
He was a good man
Oh Johnny
