Johnny Rotten Song Lyrics

Johnny had a dream he could change the world
But Johnny was rotten
Like that time at nine when he was shopliftin'
And the cops they brought him back to Mama's house
Where his ass was beat
He was told to speak but he ain't say nothin'
Had the heart of a dreamer
In his mind it was coming
Now people told Johnny he was up to no good
Lost in notebooks
He never said nothin' but he thought he so should
Johnny was a dreamer but he broke their rulebooks
And he never would change
Johnny got older
The more they picked on, the more he lashed out, the more he soldiered
And he harbored that pain and he took it to his heart
And he wrote it all down
In that old notebook with the rest of his scars
Till one day Johnny took the pages out
And he started that fire at his Mama's house
And he watched them burn till the flame was out
And he thought for sure that he had made it out
But Johnny had a dream, Johnny had a dream
Johnny had a dream and God was watchin'
So he grabbed a notebook and he started jottin'
Till Johnny had a way that he could make it out
Put it on his mind he could take it out
Tell him that he couldn't he would knock you out
Johnny had a dream and he sought it out

Johnny had a radio and heard all of them songs
