lyrics

Ow!

Judy was a rebel
and Johnny was a stoner in school
Each one liked the other
but they both thought that their friends were uncool
Then Judy started smoking
and Johnny started breaking the rules

Harry studied business cause
his father thought it'd bring in the gold
but Harry was unsatisfied with his classes
so he un-enrolled
and man, you should've seen his daddy's face
when he went and bought a guitar

And so it goes
when your life's not gold
you stand behind your brothers
and you pick another person to blame
and so it seems
life's not like on TV
where people love each other
even though they know they're not the same

Now listen up you preachers
cause I've got my own sermon to sing
you know, I think I understand you
but even Jesus had to question some things
and if you think you're having fun
then you should look at all the fear that you bring
oh, cause it's not alright

And so it goes
when your life's not gold
you stand behind your brothers
and you pick another person to blame
And so I think
I'll live my life in peace
and if you try and stop me
well at least I can say that I tried
and that's alright!
