Johnny Boy Lyrics

He stays home from work this time.
He never really told his wife.
He never really told a lie.
But this time he decides that it's alright.
It's alright.
No one really knows his mind.
And no one knows behind his eyes.
The man deserves a medal,
But he's never really won a prize before.
He goes to lock the door.
He is falling.
And oh, he knows it.
The world looks down and frowns.
Get up Johnny Boy.
Get up Johnny Boy.

Get up, cause the world has left you lying on the ground.
You're my pride and joy,
You're my pride and joy.
Get up Johnny Boy.
Cause we all need you now.
We all need you, now.
Someone said, "Where you going"
Someone said to you, "Goodbye"
They deflect the disrespect.
When they say that they blame it on the times.
They blame it on the time.
We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife.
They all know you're qualified.
But they lie when they blame it on the times.
Oh we blame it on the times.
He is falling.
And oh, he knows it
The world looks down and frowns.
Get up Johnny Boy.
Get up Johnny Boy.
Get up, cause the world as left you lying on the ground.
You're my pride and joy.
You're my pride and joy.
Get up Johnny Boy.
Cause we all need you now.
We all need you, now.
I will carry all your names,
And I will carry all your shame. [3x]
Get up Johnny Boy
Get up Johnny Boy.
Get up cause the world has left you lying on the ground.
You're my pride and joy,
You're my pride and joy.
Get up Johnny Boy.
Cause we all need you now. [2x]
