Oingo Boingo "Only A Lad" |
Johnny was bad. Even as a child everybody could tell Everyone said, "If you don't get straight you'll surely go to Hell." But, Johnny didn't care. He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old. He didn't wanna do what he was told. Just a prankster. A juvenile gangster! His teachers didn't understand, they kicked him outta school, because he didn't want to learn things Had other interests, he liked to burn things! The lady down the block She had a radio that Johnny wanted, oh, so bad And so he took it the first chance he had And then he shot her in the leg And this is what she said (Chorus): Only A Lad You really can't blame him Only A Lad Society's made him Only A Lad He's our responsibility Only A Lad He really couldn't help it Only A Lad He didn't wanna do it Only A Lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused And when he stole the car Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far He didn't mean to hit the poor man Who had to go and die It made the judge cry (Chorus) It's not his fault that he can't behave Society's made him go astray Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away Perhaps he'll go away, he'll go away... (Chorus) Hey there Johnny Your a really don't fool me You get away with murder And you think that it's funny You don't give a damn if you live or if you die oh oh oh...oh ooh oh Hey there Johnny boy, you're gonna fry!
