Run Away Johnny

Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Johnny run away

The bosses are the menaces, they don’t give a damn for you
They know that you earn their pay
There’s a real life waiting if you just get up and go
Run away Johnny, Run away

You know the banks and the money lenders want to keep you down
Want to stop you from having your say
Don’t let them tell you how you’ve got to run your life
Run away Johnny, run away

Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Johnny run away

Do you want to get to fifty punching the clock
Saving up for that rainy day
Weekends at your caravan on the south coast
Run away Johnny, run away

Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Johnny run away

You only get one chance
So drink it down to the very last drop
This is your one chance
Stand up be proud and don’t stop

You only get one chance
So drink it down to the very last drop
This is your one chance
Stand up be proud and don’t stop

Your whole life is wasted doing someone else’s work
They get rich, you get tired, that’s the way
Go to school get a job you retire then you die
Run away Johnny, run away

Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny
Johnny run away

Run away Johnny

Johnny run away

Run away Johnny
