It's another day at school |
| [00:15.76] |
And he's just walking out the door |
| [00:17.11] |
Got his rucksack on his back |
| [00:18.66] |
And his feet dragging on the floor |
| [00:20.25] |
Always late for when he's questioned |
| [00:21.96] |
He can't think of what to say |
| [00:23.76] |
Hides the bruises from the teachers |
| [00:25.35] |
Hoping that they'd go away |
| [00:26.85] |
Even though his mum and dad |
| [00:28.50] |
They both got problems of their own |
| [00:29.95] |
Caught in a catch-22 |
| [00:31.84] |
But he'd still rather be at home |
| [00:33.35] |
Cries himself to sleep and prays |
| [00:35.51] |
When he wakes up things might have changed |
| [00:36.93] |
But every thing's still the same |
| [00:39.42] |
(But didn't you say) |
| [00:41.36] |
You always said that I should speak up |
| [00:46.06] |
But it seems like all the things you said to me |
| [00:48.91] |
Before meant nothing at all, because |
| [00:53.90] |
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me |
| [00:56.90] |
That's why I'm late for school |
| [00:59.09] |
(But you never listen) |
| [01:00.69] |
Instead you always seem to end up |
| [01:02.43] |
Blaming me for things I didn't do |
| [01:05.87] |
(For what it's worth) |
| [01:07.56] |
I didn't even want to tell you anything |
| [01:09.96] |
In case it made things worse |
| [01:12.41] |
(Just so you know) |
| [01:14.06] |
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me |
| [01:16.70] |
Hey mom and dad it hurts |
| [01:25.91] |
Everyday keeps on repeating |
| [01:28.45] |
Like the record on replay |
| [01:29.90] |
Slowly getting off the bus |
| [01:31.50] |
With Johnny waiting at the gates |
| [01:33.09] |
Like a friend who'll smile or wave |
| [01:34.99] |
At him while calling out his name |
| [01:36.75] |
Put his arm around his neck, whisper |
| [01:38.30] |
"Now give me all your change"“ |
| [01:39.75] |
Too afraid to make a scene |
| [01:41.25] |
Or plea with him to let him go |
| [01:43.10] |
He just takes whatever is coming |
| [01:44.74] |
Feels the pain with every blow |
| [01:46.29] |
Tries in vain to make himself be heard |
| [01:47.93] |
As soon as he gets home |
| [01:49.73] |
But every thing's still the same |
| [01:52.07] |
(But didn't you say) |
| [01:53.92] |
You always said that I should speak up |
| [01:58.66] |
But it seems like all the things you said to me |
| [02:01.65] |
Before meant nothing at all, because |
| [02:06.49] |
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me |
| [02:09.30] |
That's why I'm late for school |
| [02:11.85] |
(But you never listen) |
| [02:13.36] |
Instead you always seem to end up |
| [02:15.61] |
Blaming me for things I didn't do |
| [02:18.46] |
(For what it's worth) |
| [02:20.35] |
I didn't even want to tell you anything |
| [02:22.80] |
In case it made things worse |
| [02:25.05] |
(Just so you know) |
| [02:26.79] |
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me |
| [02:29.23] |
Hey mom and dad it hurts |
| [02:33.48] |
You always said that I should speak up |
| [02:38.52] |
And to never be afraid to come |
| [02:40.67] |
And tell you if I needed to talk |
| [02:44.95] |
(If I needed to talk, yeah) |
| [02:46.82] |
Well I don't know the meaning of love |
| [02:51.76] |
Cause it seems like all the things you said to me |
| [02:54.50] |
Before meant nothing at all, because |
| [02:59.59] |
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me |
| [03:02.68] |
That's why I'm late for school |
| [03:04.88] |
(But you never listen) |
| [03:06.39] |
Instead you always seem to end up |
| [03:08.69] |
Blaming me for things I didn't do |
| [03:11.34] |
(For what it's worth) |
| [03:13.09] |
I didn't even want to tell you anything |
| [03:15.59] |
In case it made things worse |
| [03:18.18] |
(Just so you know) |

Hey mom and dad it hurts |
