Translation
Bilingual
Johnny was bad even as a child
Everybody could tell
Everyone said, "If you don't get straight
You're surely gonna Hell"
But Johnny didn't care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old
He didn't wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster
A juvenile gangster
His teachers didn't understand
They kicked him out of school at such an early age
Just because he didn't wanna learn things
Had other interests
He liked to burn things
ย
The lady down the block
She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
And then he shot her in the leg
And this is what she said
(Only a lad)
You really can't blame him
(Only a lad)
Society made him
(Only a lad)
He's our responsibility
(Only a lad)
He really couldn't help it
(Only a lad)
He didn't wanna do it
(Only a lad)
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, yeah
ย
His parents gave up 'cause they couldn't influence his attitude
Nobody could help, the little man had no gratitude
And when he stole the car
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far
He didn't mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry
(Only a lad)
You really can't blame him
(Only a lad)
Society made him
(Only a lad)
He's our responsibility
(Only a lad)
He really couldn't help it
(Only a lad)
He didn't wanna do it
(Only a lad)
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's not that he can't behave
Society's made him go astray
Perhaps it will make him go away
