• Only a Lad

Johnny was bad, even as
a child everybody could
tell
Everyone said if you
don't get straight
You'll surely go to hell

But Johnny didn't care
He was an outlaw by the
time that he was
Ten years old
He didn't wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster

His teachers didn't understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age
Just because he didn't
want to learn things
(Had other interests)
He liked to burn things

The lady down the block
She had a radio that
Johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
Then he shot her in the leg
And this is what she said
Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility
Only a lad
He really couldn't help it

Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

His parents gave up they
couldn't influence his
attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude

And when he stole the car
Nobody dreamed that he would
Try to take it so far
He didn't mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

It's not his fault that
he can't believe
It's not his fault that
he can't behave
Society made him go astray
Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away
Perhaps he'll go away
He'll go away

(Repeat chorus)

Hey there Johnny you
really don't fool me
You get away with murder
And you think it's funny
You don't give a damn if we
live or if we die
Hey there Johnny boy
I hope you fry!
