Down the street of the murderous heart
Past the house of the smiling face
Walked Johnny - the perfect son
Oh Johnny - Johnny the good man.

He just got back from corruption town
His eyeballs pulsed like a Rock 'n' Roll drum
There goes Johnny - Johnny the straight talking man
Oh Johnny - Johnny worn and Johnny tire

They say Johnny's heart burst
They say he fell dead upon his face
He'd had too much of tears and hate
Johnny was a good man
Oh Johnny
He couldn't say no to too much, too late
