I've got something on my mind
Makes me sad and makes me cry
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
Just an ordinary day
An animal will pass away
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
Who's to say he got no rights
Even not a right to life
Don't know why it leaves you cold
Don't know how to make it show
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
Gotta give his skin away
For coats they wear on summer days
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
Beauty aid and all the rest
Come directly from a test
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
Through his eyes I look inside his heart
He can feel like me and you
Can't defend himself 'cause he can't talk
And this is why I talk to you
Johnny isn't just a name
He stands for every creature's pain
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
Go and try to look inside his heart
You can find your own mistakes
Try to hide them thinking he can't talk
But he can read them in your face
Tell me why it leaves you cold
I swear I'm gonna make it show
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
Oh no
Johnny wanna live
