Do I love you or do I need you? Whats the difference between the two Do you love me or do I just feed you? Where's the difference between the two Johnny, you better start running Having regret for your cunning? Johnny, swing set sitting on your land Certainly Johnny, daddy was a rich man He was important, see? A judge And your mama showed you love But your karma is catching up You best start running Before the rest of your family starts shunning Johnny, you were born a null-man But you were sworn to be a law man Scorn so strong, knocking over the less fortunate's beer can The darkness in you, kids call you peter pan Perfect man to hey-mister, the guy that touched on your buddy's kid sister You best run Faster friend! Feeling free is false, even if you promise not to do it again Keep carrying on until the commas in your bank account are long gone Run. Well, you've made it Old age hasn't been gracious That gun in your drawer is looking flirtatious Why do you keep it? A secret? Well if times get tough you can seek it Or maybe your scared someone knows your address and are about to leak it At least tell yourself that, let the invisible ink show, add jest and hope neither are true You could have been so much Johnny, but you are you.
