Lyrics
Song: Little Johnny
Album: T.B.D.
Artist: Character
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Remember little Johnny?
He had big dreams for growing up
He got a little older
Thought his plans weren't big enough
He was just a little kid
Always reaching for the sky
What he didn't know
Is that one day he would die
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Johnny was sixteen
And one day he met some people
Stopped reading books
Spent more time on the streets
He was offered drugs
Overtaken by peer pressure
What he didn't know
Is that he would be next
They got him drunk
They got him high
He was never the same
Through peoples' eyes
Johnny began to earn
A bad reputation
His life sank downhill
From this one occasion
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Johnny dropped out
And started a business on the streets
Selling stolen goods
And drugs to people he would meet
Johnny needed money
Tried to rip somebody off
What he didn't know
Is that it only took one shot
Hey, hey, hey
