IGC- Johnny

[irongodchamber]

Man meets woman in a rusted ghetto world
They get to know each other, then decide to give it a whirl
Late night movies, candlelit dinners,
Even romantic strolls by the beach with Hansel Zimmer
Engage in copulation as an expression of amore
Decide to have a little kid to throw into the foray
Semen swam up the fallopian and pierced the amniotic
Fertilized a zygote which segmented and went biotic
Grew from a being the size of a silver dime piece
Into a physical organism with its own field of gravity
Squeezed from the uterus of that good old girl named Sally
She had the baby boy and decided to name it Johnny
Son grew up, learned to walk, run and jump
Even had a few falls which resulted in some bumps
Johnny had a sheltered life within the eyesight of his parents
But life would grab him by the throat soon, that was apparent

Life is a fragile thing
You just try to fly but it breaks your wings
Tell me, how did such vibrance have to go
Oh, Johnny, Oh, Johnny, Oh

Our boy went to school and learned the fundamentals of life
That there were words, numbers, phrases, and equal doses of strife
He liked to play with water, toy boats, plastic fruit
He even saw a movie, Disney called it "Little Toot"
Young men at that age learned to play some kind of sport
He picked the game of baseball to avoid the label "dork"

Johnny Jacobs cuts in line
Baseball Practice, 8 to 9
Now you're feeling fine
Time to hit the grime

Bloody nose, split lip, Johnny's first little beef
Coming from a motherfucker who knocked out all his teeth
Johnny ran home to unload it on his mom
Who realized that the truth would hit him like a bomb
Mom said, hey son, it ain't perfect
It was far from being peaceful, life is a highway
Our young man knew that he could'nt get it my way
So he hit his adolescence like a red squirrel on the freeway

Life is a fragile thing
You just try to fly but it breaks your wings
Tell me, how did such vibrance have to go
Oh, Johnny, Oh, Johnny, Oh

High school, the trial of a happy child's life
You gotta keep your wits about you or else you might be knifed
Brothers selling methamphetamines near locker number 103's
Sisters wearing slutty clothes, it's a nation full of tease
Johnny, influenced by conformists from the masses
turned to shooting horse, the outcome turned disastrous
Fucking up his future while shooting litter through your brain
Suspended forty-two times, after causing teachers pain
Got into slutty bimbos, caught some seven STD's
Got burned by gonorrhea, scorching chlamydia in his pee
Screamed when he got the first bitch he met late and pregnant
After getting a hard case of warts he finally turned to abstinence
Decided that life didn't really mean much
He got drunk
Went in search of anything to pick him up
Cheap hookers, German beer, Johnny turned into a wreck
Feeling woozy and strung out, he went right out on a trek
Middle of the ghetto, where his mom and dad began
Looking for anything to get him high that came in bags or cans
Johnny never saw the bullet with his name
That came out of the shadows faster than the scandal Plame
As he fell to the pavement, he knew that must be accepted.
The fact, that life is hectic.

Life is a fragile thing
You just try to fly but it breaks your wings
Tell me, how did such vibrance have to go
Oh, Johnny, Oh, Johnny, Oh

Life is a fragile thing
You just try to fly but it breaks your wings
Tell me, how did such vibrance have to go
Oh, Johnny, Oh, Johnny, Oh
