Bye Bye Johnny Lyrics by The Humanitarians

No Law

0

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, late again
Got out of bed, I caught the train
I went to work, I got bored
Authority knocked upon my door
Said "Sorry son, can't afford
To keep your job any more
Here we have your last week's pay
If you'll just be on your way"
[Verse 2]
I went home, picked up the phone
I rung my girl, yeah, she wasn't home
I left a message on her machine
Call me back, she got in
I waited there for about an hour
I watched TV, took a shower
She didn't phone, I got angry
And in my mind, started panicking
[Verse 3]
I had no money, only debts
Overdrafts and bouncing cheques
I thought, "What am I gonna do?"
Went down the pub and I hit the booze
I stumbled out about half past nine
Didn't want to commit this crime
Seemed to be the only way
I planned my move for the very next day
[Verse 4]
First I had to find a shooter
Had to collect it in a pub in Luton
Didn't take me very long
To find a dodgy sawn-off shotgun
My head was dizzy, tongue was dry
The sense of danger made me feel high
Found myself a plastic mask
Ventured forth to complete my task
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 5]
So I went down to the superstore
Got out my gun, said "Get down on the floor
Empty out the till, my man"
He placed some money in my hands
Then someone grabbed me from behind
I threw him off, I turned around
I didn't mean to but I shot
Went through the head, and down he dropped
[Verse 6]
It was the early hours, police broke down the door
My girl, she screamed, I said "Ya want some more?"
"You're in it now, I bet you wish that you were dead
On the security camera, the evidence is clear
And you'll go down for twenty years"
In fact I got life, I'd do twenty-five
The jury went home satisfied
[Outro]
Bye bye
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye
