| He’s just a boy from an average place
|
| he sleeps with a girl with an average face
|
| plays on the drums in an average band
|
| can’t get a job in an average land
|
| he met a guy in the local pub
|
| asked him along to a nice meet up
|
| some of the guys had a lot to say
|
| kind of extreme but they seemed okay
|
| see them coming over here to take what’s yours
|
| Johnny nodded but he wasn’t really sure
|
| won’t be happy till we’re living by their laws
|
| every time we give an inch they just want more
|
| Johnny just take it easy, easy
|
| take a step back and see me here I stand
|
| out from the fire too the frying pan
|
| well if you wanna hate me here I am
|
| He’s just a boy in an angry mob
|
| might throw a punch but he ain’t no yob
|
| proud of defending his own country
|
| blissfully blind of his history
|
| see them coming over here to take what’s yours
|
| Johnny found the cause we’re fighting for
|
| some of them are gonna start a holy war
|
| how to tell them ones apart I’m still not sure
|
| Johnny just take it easy, easy
|
| take a step back and see me here I stand
|
| out from the fire to the frying pan
|
| well if you wanna hate me here I am
|
| I don’t mean to be mean here, mean here
|
| but you have to believe me take my hand
|
| out from the fire to the frying pan
|
| well if you wanna hate me here I am
|
| are you too far gone to see
|
| that when you talk of us and them, well where does that leave me
|
| and the boy you used to be
|

|
| Johnny just take it easy, easy
|
| Johnny just take it easy, easy
|
| Johnny just take it easy, easy
|
| take a step back and see me here I stand
|
| out from the fire to the frying pan
|
| well if you wanna hate me here I am
|
| I don’t mean to be needy, needy
|
| but you have to believe me take my hand
|
| out from the fire to the frying pan
