they call me johnny i think
johnny is in america
johnny be good
but johnny ain't
and is not
they think i am fighting
but i am not
i did not trade a fiddle for a drum
i just try to show
there is more in the things we call live
than endless self love and self possesion
doubtless self reference as most do
have you turned ?
or have you just made a choise ?
i don't intent or pretend to be good
that is what you made of me
some side to make things easy to understand
but that is just simplifying the matter
down to the stupidity you have tought me not to become
they call me johnny
some say i am joe
maybe that is true
but i guess we will never know
when we keep realities seperate
and do not wish to understand each other
i just reflect what i see under a different angle
so thought has to come into action
johnny is afraid of americans
and he seems to drum
but johnny is not my name
though his actions are the same
i still call you friends
and you'll always be
even though tables turn
and worlds shift
i am not at war
or am i ?
and why would you deny me that love
when you grant it yourself ?
then i ask you
why would i be afraid
as now you are yourself
tables turn
and when it turns on you
you forget it turned on me
my name might not be johnny
but that is what you call me
when war is at hand
i don't want to fight you
but i was caught in the middle
and i fight both
in different ways
it is hard for me too
to see you fight me
i have tried so hard
and will try
not to damage too much
just to make a change
a chance to get peace and the stars
a place
but for that there must be war and infinity
not a stalemate and a closed mindset
