I got something on my mind
Makes me sad and makes my cry - oh no
Johnny want to live
Just an ordinary day
An animal will pass away - oh no
Johnny want to live
Who's to say he got no rights
Even not a right to life
Don't know why it leaves you cold
Don't know how to make it show - oh no
Johnny want to live
Johnny want to live
Got to give his skin away
For coats they wear on summerdays - oh no
Johnny want to live
Beauty aid and all the rest
Come directly from a test - oh no
Johnny want to live
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 you
Johnny isn't just a name
He stands for every creature's pain - oh no
Johnny want to live
Johnny want to live
Go and try to look inside his heart
You can find your own mistakes
Try to hide them thinking he can't talk
But he can read them in your face
I got something on my mind
It makes me sad
And 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 want to live
Johnny want to live
