Johnny's Song
(tune: "The Glory of Love," love theme from The Karate Kid II)
There's too much pain and fear
To drown them with a beer
He thinks there's really nothing left to say
He is just a loser, he is gonna live life alone
Too bad he can't forget
The things that he regrets
He says a man's not made for crying
He is just a loser, he is gonna live life alone
Young Johnny fought for what he thought was honor
Knows to the day when the whole thing went wrong
Life's just survival, he still hates his rival
He'll prob'ly be pissed that this was Daniel's song
He sees a kid attacked
And then old Johnny's back
He steps into the fight, then he does more
Says "I'm gonna teach you, I'm behind you, you're not alone"
Young Johnny fought for what he thought was honor
Knows to the day when the whole thing went wrong
Not just survival, but still hates his rival
He'll prob'ly be pissed that this was Daniel's song
He's not a knight in shining armor
Not a hero of old
He teaches kids how to fight the way
That he was taught, to make the others pay
Young Johnny fought for what he thought was honor
Knows to the day when the whole thing went wrong
Not just survival, but still hates his rival
He'll prob'ly be pissed that this was Daniel's song
Life's not just survival
He still hates his rival
You know he'd be pissed that this was Daniel's song
(Spoken: Or you know, maybe he'd just say, "Up yours, LaRusso. It's my song now.")
