lost child
social distortion
his father left him as a little boy
his mother turned tricks just to buy his toys
immediate psychiatric help
drugs and gangs have made him a man
living in the streets in a world of his own
he stops and watches his heart turn to stone
he's an important person now
he's running with a wayward crowd
fear and anger were trapped deep inside
if only johnny could have opened up his heart
then me and johnny wouldn't never had to part
he's tired of running the vicious circle
he loaded and cocked his.45
he was just a frightened boy
how many johnnys must there be?
