Johnny

It's another day at school And he's just walking out the door Got his rucksack on his back and his feet dragging on the floor Always late but when he's questioned he can't think of what to say Hides the bruises from the teachers hoping that they go away Even though his mum and dad they both got problems of their own Caught in a catch 22 but he'd still rather be at home Cries himself to sleep and prays when he wakes up things might have changed But everything's still the same (But didn't you say) You always said that I should speak up... mmm But it seems like all the things you said to me before meant nothing at all Because... I keep telling you that Johnny's hittin' me That's why I'm late for school (But you never listen) Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things I didn't do (For what its worth) I didn't even wanna tell you anything in case it made things worse (Just so you know) Every time, I say that Johnny's hittin' me Hey mum and dad it hurts Everyday keeps on repeating like a record on replay Slowly getting off the bus with Johnny waiting at the gates Like a friend he'll smile and wave at him While calling out his name Put his arm around his neck whisper now gimme all your change Too afraid to make a scene or plead with him to let him go He just takes whatever's coming feels the pain with every blow Tries in vain to make himself be heard as soon as he gets home But everything's still the same (But didn't you say) You always said that I should speak up... mmm But it seems like all the things you said to me before meant nothing at all Because... I keep telling you that Johnny's hittin' me That's why I'm late for school (But you never listen) Instead you always seemed to end up blaming me for things I didn't do (For what its worth) I didn't even wanna tell you anything in case it made things worse (Just so you know) Every time, I say that Johnny's hittin' me Hey mum and dad it hurts You always said that I should speak up... mmm And to never be afraid to come and tell you if I needed to talk (If I needed to talk yeah) Well I don't know the meaning of love...mmm 'Cos it seems like all the things you said to me before meant nothing at all Because... I keep telling you that Johnny's hittin' me That's why I'm late for school But you never listen Instead you always seemed to end up blaming me for things I didn't do For what its worth I didn't even wanna tell you anything in case it made things worse Just so you know Every time I say that Johnny's hittin' me Hey mum and dad it hurts I keep telling you that Johnny's hittin' me That's why I'm late for school But you never listen Instead you always seemed to end up blaming me for things I didn't do For what its worth I didn't even wanna tell you anything in case it made things worse Just so you know Every time I say that Johnny's hitten' me Hey mum and dad it hurts…
