Well Johnny was a boy who lived down on the corner
The people said play, but Johnny didn’t wanna
(They crowded ‘round and started to dig his hole)
Come to the city, we’ll have you sittin’ pretty
Johnny come along and join the nitty-gritty
(We’ll help your life get outta control)
So Johnny went along, and played for a while
It wasn’t too long before he lost his smile
(He lost his mind, and couldn’t stay in the zone)
When Johnny turned around, no-one to be found
Just all the wreckage lying on the ground
But he enjoyed, just being alone
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Now it’s Johnny’s second chance, to have another glance
Somehow or another, they got back in his pants
(Now Johnny’s feeding all his desires)
Now he’s gotta hold on tight, and hope to ride it right
One way or another, make it through the night
(Stay in the pan and out of the fire)
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
(Break)
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep onfighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep ittogether, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah, he’s gotta keep it together, and keep on fighting
Yeah gotta keep it together
Yeah gotta keep it together
Yeah gotta keep it together
Yeah gotta keep it together
