lyrics

Johnny sits in his highchair, looks around at it all. Tries to understand the way his plate is arranged, everything’s amazing and incredibly strange. He eats from a silver spoon. He’s gonna be on his own two feet soon. Success is already in his DNA, you know he’s gonna be an important man someday. But now, right now, he don’t understand.

Johnny sits in the classroom, looks around at his peers. He wonders why the teacher looks at him with a frown, he wonders why the girls are always turning him down. He puts his head to the desk, he knows that there will be a time for success. Everything he hungers for will someday be his, you someday everyone is gonna know who he is. But now, right now he just don’t understand.

Johnny sits in his office, takes a look at the time. He doesn’t think the boss appreciates his work, and Bill from market research is always a jerk. He calls his wife on the phone, she says she’s tired of feeling so alone. Johnny’s glad that she got that off her chest, and he’s pretty sure that everything will work for the best. But now, right now he just don’t understand.

Johnny sits on his deathbed, starts looking back at his life. He remembers places, her remembers names. He remembers all the guilt, and a lot of the shame. He tries to think of a cause, tries desperately to remember who he was. Did lady luck just deal him a bad hand, or was it all a part of some incredible master plan? Well, I’m damned if I understand.

No I don’t understand, he don’t understand, no-one understands.
