Johnny Can't Read - Don Henley
[00:15.19
Football, baseball, basketball games
Drinkin' beer, kickin' ass and takin' down names
With the top down, get-a-round, shootin' the line
Summer is here and Johnny's feelin' fine
[00:49.08
[00:52.08
You know the Johnny can't read
You never learned nothin' that he'll ever need
Well, Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
[02:22.17
Johnny can hang out; Johnny can talk tough
[02:28.22
[01:45.65
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!

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"
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
Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
Johnny can pinball; Johnny can talk tough

Well, recess is over
Recess is over!
Sitcoms, "T and A."
Johnny's mind is blown away
Cop shows, horror flicks
Johnny's brain is full of bricks
Rock show, Video
Boob tube, Rubik's cube
Game fools, Sunday school
Gain fans, Gobble gangs
Wonka wonka wonka
There's a new kid in town
