Run Away Johnny Lyrics


Run away Johnny [x3]
Johnny run awayThe bosses are the menaces they don't give a damn for you
They know that you earn their pay
There's a real life waiting if you just get up and go run away Johnny run away
You know the banks and the money lenders want to keep you down
Want to stop you from having your say
Don't let them tell you how you've got to run your life run away Johnny run awayRun away Johnny [x3]
Johnny run awayDo you want to get to 50 punching the clock saving up for that rainy day
Weekends at your caravan on the south coast run away Johnny run awayRun away Johnny [x3]
Johnny run awayYou only get 1 chance so drink it down to the very last drop
This is your 1 chance stand up be proud and don't stop [repeat]
Your whole life is wasted doing someone else's work they get rich you get tired that's the way
Go to school get a job you retire then you die run away Johnny run awayRun away Johnny [x3]
Johnny run away [repeat to end]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
