so johnny was a good man

armed with the power of his homeland

and with his boots laced tight and a ticket in his hand

never to return home again

so he lost what he knows and what all is right

for a broken world and a world of lies

but the days were numbered

relationships suffered

he lost the faith of all those who mattered so

don't forget your roots

my friend

don't forget your family

so jessie thought that she was all that

thought she was heading on the right track

left her mates at the gate as she walked away

ooh

never to look back again

so she lost what she knows and what all is right

for a brand new image and a world of lies

but the days were numbered

relationships suffered

she lost the faith of all those who mattered so

don't forget your roots

my friend
