Lyrics:
Can you hear them call your name? It's a pity, it's a shame, who's to blame?
That you're not hear to read the news. All we have we owe to you.
Love is all you need to give. You taught us how to really live.
Your lyrics touched and teased our souls. All we learned to you we owe.
Here's a nod to you, for all that you went through
Johnny, you're a hero working class
You growled and stomped upon the stage. Making all those parents rage.
And all the girls they screamed your name. All the guys sought your fame.
Words they flowed from you like rain. And no one matched your wit or brain.
Melody turned the world around. Johnny don't you let us down.
Chorus
Everything is so beautiful. Nothing seems to be really real.
And who am I? And who are you? When happiness is but a thrill
Everyone here they know your name. What's the world but lemonade?
Sweet and masked in bitter taste. Am I happier in outer space?
Repeat 1st verse. Chorus
