I 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 gets no rights
Even not the 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
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

Got to give his skin away
For coats they wear on summer days

Oh no
Tell me why it leaves you cold
I swear I've gotta make it show
Oh no, Johnny wanna live
Yeah, yeah, Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
(Johnny wanna live)

Oh, Johnny
Johnny wanna live
(You have the right to live)
Oh, Johnny
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
