Don Henley - Johnny Can't Read lyrics

johnny can't read Football, baseball, basket ball games Drinkin' bear, kickin' a** and takin' down names With the top down, get-a-round, shootin' the line Summer is here and johnny's feelin' fine But johnny can't read Summer is over and he's gone to seed Johnny can't read He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need Well, johnny can dance and johnny can love Johnny can push and johnny can shove Johnny can hang out; johnny can talk tough Johnny can get down and johnny can throw up But johnny can't read Summer is over and he's gone to seed (you know that), johnny can't read He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need Well, is it teacher's fault? oh no! Is it mommy's fault? oh no! Is it society's fault? oh no! Well is it johnny's fault? ohhhhh nooooo! Couple years later, johnny's on the run Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun Well, he went and did something that he shouldn't Oughta done F.b.i. on his tail "use a gun-go to jail" But johnny can't read Summer is over and he's gone to seed (you know that), johnny can't read He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need Well is is teacher's fault? oh no Is it mommie's fault? oh no Is it the president's fault? oh no Well is it johnny's fault? ohhhhh nooooo! Johnny can dance and johnny can love Johnny can push and johnny can shove Johnny can pinball; johnny can talk tough Johnny can get down and johnny can throw up Well, recess is over Recess is over! Sitcoms, "t.&a." Johnny's mind is blown away Cop shows, horror flicks Johnny's brain is full of bricks Rock show, video b**b tube, rubik's cube Game fools, sunday school Gain fans(?), gobble gangs(?) Wonka wonka wonka There's a new kid in town...
