Johnny

Johnny can’t write
Johnny didn’t have much of a life
Oh yeah — oh yeah
To fight their war he didn’t believe in
His father told him to be a marine
Oh yeah — oh yeah
Johnny told his father, he just could not
He don’t wanna live that way
Oh yeah — oh yeah
Johnny always thought there was something wrong
Day by day singing his fathers song
Johnny didn’t want to live his life that way
Now day to day, dying the military way
Johnny was rough, Johhny was tough
But not tough enough, to just say no
Johnny went down to sign up that day
They sent him down to basic training
Johnny went to a foreign land
He died in the hands of a foreign man
We will always remember Johnny in his last days
