Johnny he said With a gun in his hand He said “You’ll never understand You will never understand, no” I worked so damn hard To be left in the cold But you will never really know You will never really know
These are the stories of a madman Who thought he knew it all This is how I perceive them ending The call and cry of a man who would take my eyes So place your barrel upon my chest And pray you never have to hear the rest cry out Woah, what have we done, what have we done
So pray to your god It’s not as hard as you thought The words will echo out The words will echo out in vain
The look in their eyes As you seek to take their life Will you remember how they cried Will you remember how they cried out
Is this what, what we’ve become Taking from those, who had it all
Your smile it grew Crooked through and through The ghosts they’ll look on The ghost they’ll look on Forgive what you’ve done Yet you claim I am wrong I’ll see you wretch in your sleep I’ll see you wretch in your sleep
