So I'm high again and I'm looking
At my only friend in you and you're high too
Does it sound unreal that my house is full
Of nothing I can feelI look for some direction and I find
A woman who won't reach me
And a man I ask him what it meansAnd he says, "It's up to you
Johnny, you must do what you have to do"
And he said, "It's up to you
Johnny, do what's right but do it for you"So, I crashed the car
And I turn up loud my old guitar and sing
Some Ramones or Hendrix thing
'Cause it seems to me that all I see
Is that you didn't mind a thingAnd all I say just goes right through
Have you seen my lonely days?
Do you know, I wouldn't be like you?And he said, "It's up to you
Johnny, you must do what you have to do"
And he said, "It's up to you
Johnny, do what's right but do it for you"So, I'm high again
And I'm looking at my empty bed, it's strange
I can't feel a thing though the lights are low
The candles on my coffin let me knowThe woman cries for her, I know
How come you never heard me?
Oh man, how come you'd never see?You just said, "It's up to you
And Johnny, you must do what you have to do"
And he said, "It's up to you
Johnny, do what's right, Johnny, do what's right
Johnny, do what's right"And what I did I did for you
And what I did I did for you
