Johnny’s father left him when he was 5
Thinks he needs a gun, so he carries one to survive, to stay alive
Mother never home cuz she’s working overtime
Johnny’s all alone watches TV and he finds, in his little mind

Bang, bang, bang, bang the TV it sounds
Gun solved the problem
Bad guys are dead on the ground
Youngster with a gun, look what he’s become

Next day at school Johnny’s packing a gun
Hates all his teachers and the kids that are poking fun
Says he’s dumb
Schools almost over but he loses control
Pulls out a pistol shooting, blowing holes and he goes

Bang, bang, bang, bang some teachers they fall
Johnny’s on a rampage he’s out in the halls, bloody walls

Police surround Johnny but he doesn’t understand
Help kill the bad guys now he’s a wanted man, takes a stand
Bang, bang, bang, bang Johnny shot dead
Nobody knew what went wrong, inside his head

Youngster with a gun, look what he’s become
