Lyrics 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
A 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
And then he shot her in the leg
But this is what she said
You really can't blame him
Society made him
He's our responsibility
Ooh, oh whoa oh
He really couldn't help it
He didn't wanna do it
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh oh oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Oh, whoa whoa whoa
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
He really couldn't help it
He didn't wanna do it
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh oh oh
Oh whoa whoa
It's not his fault that he can't behave
Society's made him go astray
Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away
Perhaps he'll go away he'll go away
You really can't blame him
Society made him
Is he our responsibility
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
Oh oh oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Hey there Johnny Boy
I hope you fry
Oh, whoa whoa whoa
Oh, whoa whoa whoa, oh-oh
Uh
