Johnny Black
Here's a story 'bout an american man
Who's always used to doin' things the best that he can
He's got his wife, he's got his kids by his side
You know he'd rather fuck you up then swallow his pride
He's got his favorite band tattooed on his back
We'll call him johnny, and johnny wore black
Dropped out of school because he loved the guitar
We used to check him out at all the clubs and the bars
He'd rather die on the outside, fight from within
When everything was said and done he knew he would win
He called the shots - and straddled the line
We knew he was lost all the time
(johnny black)
The years had passed us and the crowd moved on
We hadn't seen or heard from him in oh so long
We never even thought to pick up the phone
Or to take the time to see if johnny was home
He had a motorcycle parked in the yard
Which was always there for cruisin' when the times were hard
He never had a need to follow the mass
And he was all by himself as he stepped on the gas:
Johnny Preto
Aqui vai uma história sobre um cara americano
Que sempre fez o melhor que pôde, sem engano
Ele tem sua esposa, tem os filhos ao seu lado
Você sabe que ele prefere te quebrar do que engolir seu orgulho
Tem sua banda favorita tatuada nas costas
Vamos chamá-lo de Johnny, e o Johnny usava preto
Desistiu da escola porque amava tocar guitarra
A gente sempre o via nos bares e nas baladas
Ele preferia morrer do lado de fora, lutar de dentro
Quando tudo estava dito e feito, ele sabia que ia vencer
Ele dava as ordens - e andava na linha
A gente sabia que ele estava perdido o tempo todo
(johnny preto)
Os anos passaram e a galera seguiu em frente
A gente não o viu ou ouviu por tanto tempo, é surpreendente
Nunca pensamos em pegar o telefone
Ou em tirar um tempo pra ver se o Johnny estava em casa
Ele tinha uma moto estacionada no quintal
Que sempre estava lá pra dar uma volta quando a coisa ficava feia
Ele nunca precisou seguir a massa
E estava sozinho enquanto acelerava a brasa:
