Johnny’s at his trailer home Mixing up medicines Trying to get through his life Studying on the pavement Saving enough just to get through high school then again
Look what you did Kid you jumped into someone’s bed Had a babe But couldn’t get ahead Follow your leaders Get off the eternal parking meter
Get wet get set Johnny come let’s bet Watch the shuffle He’s using a cold deck They’ve kept you in check You’re obviously still not gonna lose the bet
Look at what you’ve done away with kid You’ve run away with a 100 bid Shocked looks on their faces Finally gaining some confidence in yourself You use that confidence And build up To do away with the hard labor Of giving free ******* on the subway stations
50%, 60%, 70% You’re ******* ****** Go ahead Get dressed Today you’re gonna go to bed With your wife and your kid
Look ahead kid The world’s at your feet You study so there’s nothing you can’t eat But only thing that’s missing In your lonely life Is an intent to give you a blessing and no retreat
Look out kid See what you did On your life you’ve had to keep a lid Taking concern from God and government And scumbags and still avoiding property dealers
The story of an ordinary guy who tries to make it life through the right, which doesn't pay, and wrong and vacuous. But money isn't everything because sometimes the bail is set too high.
