Oingo Boingo!!! xP

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, juvenile gangster

His teachers didn't understand

They kicked him out of school

At a tender early age

Just 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

So he took it the first chance he had

Then he shot her in the leg

And this is what she said

Only a lad

You really can't blame him

Only a lad

Society made him

Only a lad

He's our responsibility

Only a lad

He really couldn't help it

Only a lad

He didn't want to do it

Only a lad

He's underprivileged and abused

Perhaps a little bit confused

His parents gave up they couldn't influence his attitude

Nobody could help

The little man had no gratitude

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

It's not his fault that he can't believe

It's not his fault that he can't behave

Society made him go astray

Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away

Perhaps he'll go away

He'll go away

Hey there Johnny you really don't fool me

You get away with murder

And you think it's funny

You don't give a damn if we live or if we die

Hey there Johnny boy

I hope you fry!

It's sad, but when this was made it still bore some element of satire. Now it's just parallel to what happens today."Well, he's only a kid, so we can't try him as an adult. That'll be six years in fake prison for three accounts of murder. Can't really blame kids these days though, since all these outside influences like video games corrupt em. That's mainly why it's wrong to discipline them too, it's not like they knew better."This song was nothing short of prophetic.

It's a shame that not many of the artists you hear today wrote thier own lyrics. The lyrics of this song are so wacky and strange. :)
