Intro: }x2
Verse:
He stays home home for work this time
He never really told his wife
He never really told a lie but this time he decides
that it's alright.
It's alright.
No one really knows his mind and no one knows behind his eyes.
The man deserves a medal
But he's never really won a prize before.
He goes to lock the door.
Pre-Chorus:
He is falling
And though he knows it's not
The world looks down and frowns.
Chorus:
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy,
Get up cause the world has left you lying on the ground.
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy.
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now.
We all need you now.
Verse:
Someone said where you going
Someone said to you goodbye
They deflect the disrespect when they say that they blame it
on the times
They blame it on the time.
We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife
They all know you're qualified but they lie when they blame it
on the times.
And we blame it on the times.
Pre-Chorus:
He is falling
And though he knows it's not
The world looks down and frowns.
Chorus:
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy,
Get up cause the world has left you lying on the ground.
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy.
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now.
We all need you now
Interlude:
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
Chorus:
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy,
Get up cause the world has left you lying on the ground.
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy.
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now.
