Текст песни
It's another day at school
and he's just walking out the door
Got his ruck sack on his back
and his feet dragging on the floor
Always late,
but when he's questioned
he can't think of what to say
Hows the bruises from the teacher
he's hoping that they go away
Even though his mom and dad they
both got problems of their own
Caught in a catch 22
but he'd still rather be at home
Crys himself to sleep and prays
when he wakes up things might have changed
But everythings still the same
(But didn't you say) You always said
that I should speak up, Mmm....
But it seems like all the things you said to me
before mean nothing at all
Because...
[Chorus:]
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
Thats why I'm late for school (but you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
for things I didn't do (For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything incase it
made things worse (Just so you know)
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey Mom and Dad it hurts
[Verse 2:]
Everyday keeps on repeating
like the record on replay
Slowly getting off the bus
with Johnny waiting at the gates
Like a friend smiling and waiveing
and called him out his name
Put his arm around his neck
whats up now gimme all your change
Too afraid to make a scene
or plead with him to let him go
He just takes whatevers coming,
feels the pain with every blow
Trys in vain to make himself be heard
as soon as he gets home
But everythings still the same...
(But didn't you say) You always said
that I should speak up, Mmm....
But it seems like all the things you said to me
before mean nothing at all
Because...
[Chorus:]
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
Thats why I'm late for school (but you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
for things I didn't do (For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything
incase it made things worse (Just so you know)
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey Mom and Dad it hurts
[Bridge:]
You always said that I should speak up, Mmm...
And to never be afraid to come and tell you
if I needed to talk (If I needed to talk, Yeah)
Well I don't know the meaning of love, Mmm...
Cause it seems like all the things you said to me
before mean nothing at all
(Mean nothing at all)
Because....
[Chorus 3x (Fade Out):]
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
Thats why I'm late for school (but you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
for things I didn't do (For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything incase it
made things worse (Just so you know)
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey Mom and Dad it hurts
