Lost Child Lyrics - Prison Bound - Social Distortion

Picked up by the police, only seventeen 

What did he do, what did he say? His father left him as a little boy 

His mother turned tricks just to buy his toys 

72 hour evaluation immediate psychiatric help 

But Johnny wasn't crazy he was just an angry boy 

Years later, nothing much has changed 

Liquor, drugs, and gangs have made him a man 

Living in the streets in a world of his own 

He stops and watches his heart turn to stone 

He's an important person now 

He's running with a wayward crowd 

But Johnny wasn't crazy he was just a lonely boy 

The pain got too great, an eventual suicide 

Fear and anger were trapped deep inside 

If only Johnny could have opened up his hear 

Then me and Johnny wouldn't never had to part 

He's tired of running the vicious circle 

He loaded and cocked his 45 

But Johnny wasn't crazy he was just a frightened boy 

Oh, how many Johnny's must there be? 

Oh Johnny, how I wish you were here
