Johnny always takes more than he needs Knows a couple chords, knows a couple leads Johnny always needs more than he takes Forgets a couple of chords, forgets a couple of breaks And everybody tells me Johnny is hot Johnny needs something that he ain't got And Johnny's gonna die Johnny's gonna die Johnny's gonna die Everybody stares and everybody hoots Johnny always needs more than he shoots Standing by a beach and there ain't no lake He's got friends without no guts, friends that never ache In New York City, I guess it's cool when it's dark There's one sure way, Johnny, you can leave your mark
