Social Distortion - Lost Child Lyrics
Picked up by the police, only seventeenWhat did he do, what did he say?His father left him as a little boyHis mother turned tricks just to buy his toys72 hour evaluationImmediate psychiatric helpBut Johnny wasn't crazyHe was just an angry boyYears later, nothing much has changedLiquor, drugs and gangs have made him a manLiving in the streets in a world of his ownHe stops and watches his heart turn to stoneHe's an important person nowHe's running with a wayward crowdBut Johnny wasn't crazyHe was just a lonely boyThe pain got too great, an eventual suicideFear and anger were trapped deep insideIf only Johnny could have opened up his heartThen me and Johnny wouldn't never had to partHe's tired of running the vicious circleHe loaded and *****ed his .45But Johnny wasn't crazyHe was just a frightened boyOh,How many Johnnys must there be?Oh JohnnyHow I wish you were here
