Don Henley - Johnny Can't Read
Football, baseball, basket ball games,
Drinkin' beer, kickin' ass and takin' down names,
With the top down, get-a-round, shootin' the line,
Summer is here and Johnny's feelin' fine.
But Johnny can't read,
Summer is over and he's gone to seed.
You know that, Johnny can't read,
He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need.
Well, Johnny can dance and Johnny can love,
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove,
Johnny can hang out, Johnny can talk tough,
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up.
But Johnny can't read,
Summer is over and he's gone to seed.
You know that, Johnny can't read,
He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need.
Well, is it teacher's fault? (Oh No!)
Is it mommy's fault? (Oh No!)
Is it society's fault? (Oh No!)
Well, is it Johnny's fault? OhhHHH NooOOO!
Couple years later, Johnny's on the run,
Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun.
Well, he went and did something that he shouldn't oughta done.
F.B.I. on his tail -- use a gun -- go to jail.
But Johnny can't read,
Summer is over and he's gone to seed.
You know that, Johnny can't read,
He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need,
Well, is it teacher's fault? (Oh No!)
Is it mommy's fault? (Oh No!)
Is it the President's fault? (Oh No!)
Well, is it Johnny's fault? OhhHHH NooOOO!
Johnny can dance and Johnny can love,
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove,
Johnny can pinball, Johnny can talk tough,
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up.
(Johnny can't read... Johnny can't read...)
Well, recess is over.
Recess is over!
Sitcoms, DNA, Johnny's mind is blown away,
Cop shows, horror flicks, Johnny's brain is full of bricks,
Rock show, Video, Boob tube, Rubik's cube,
Game fools, Sunday school, Gain fans, Gobble gangs,
Wonka wonka wonka...
