Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got something on my mind
Makes me sad and makes me cry, oh no
Johnny wanna live
Just an ordinary day
An animal will pass away, oh no
Johnny wanna live
[Verse 2]
Who's to say he got no rights?
Even not a right to life?
[Verse 3]
Don't know why it leaves you cold
Don't know how to make it show, oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
[Verse 4]
Got to give his skin away
For coats they wear on summer days, oh no
Johnny wanna live
Beauty aid and all the rest
Come directly from the chest, oh no
Johnny wanna live
[Verse 5]
Through his eyes I look inside his heart
He can feel like me and you
Can't defend himself 'cause he can't talk
And this is why I talk to you
[Verse 6]
Johnny isn't just a name
He stands for every creature's pain, oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
[Verse 7]
Go and try to look inside his heart
You can find your own mistake
Try to hide, they're thinking he can't talk
But you can read them on your face
[Verse 8]
I got something on my mind
Makes me sad, it makes me cry, oh no
Let him live
Tell me why it leaves you cold
I swear I'm gonna make it show, oh no
Johnny wanna live
Yeah, yeah
Johnny wanna live
[Verse 9]
Oh, Johnny wanna live
Oh, let him live
J-J-Johnny, J-J-Johnny
Give him a chance
You have the right to live
Oh, Johnny
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live, oh
