Johnny was a young boy, he liked playing at the park
And Johnny said: oh oh oh, dad can you take me now?
Johnny was young, never hurt no-one, too early for that
He was at the park, he met a boy named Jimmy
Hes a cutie
And he chose him oh
Take my heart, take my soul, share my crayons, share my goals
His daddy walked by with a sigh said Johnny sit by my side
Im gonna give you the best advice youve ever heard in your life
See that boy named Jimmy, yeah, hes a cutie
But oh no Johnny no no no no ah ah ow
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
Johnny started high school at the front of the bus
Some boys yelled oh oh-oh man come sit with us
Johnny found a seat with a boy named Pete and felt it again
As he was trying to play pretend the feeling came rushing in
And he thought
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
And I dont want to talk about the trap, Ive dreamed big
Real big since Ive been on daddys lap
Got my dreams by my side
Keep them in my pocket so that when I
get the chance I can rip it out and rock it
Its like my golden ticket, its the reason that Im here
Everybody has a dream, but theyre frozen by fear
We wont dance in the rain, we go and run for cover
All that is to blame is getting picked on by another
So we go and find someone that will love and support us
Says they adore us, maybe fought for us
Then, we forget about ambitions and decisions have changed
I think that I was only seven when oh
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Youll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover, nah no nah no
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
Youll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover, nah no nah no
