5
? ? ?
6
Better watch out
7
'cause johnny's got a gun
8
9
Ooh get all the armies
10
Get all the arms
11
Get all the armories
12
The harbour's blocated
13
The streets barricated
14
Every thought is under lock and key
15
There's an ideal rising that you can't protect
16
From the same poor souls you say you protect
17
There's a fire of burning hatred in every mother's son
18
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
19
20
Anchored your war ships
21
Claimed all the air-strips
22
Readied the seeds of decay
23
Stolen youth to fill your troups
24
Keeping rebellion at bay
25
The fathers before you now lie in the graves
26
Being remembered before it's too late
27
And the sons you call rebels becoming one
28
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
29
30
The hour's upon you
31
The past will soon haunt you
32
Yesterday becomes today
33
The helpless the hopeless
34
The lost ones the homeless
35
The weak can't afford to be brave
36
There's only so much a poor man can take
37
Before he no longer fears making mistakes
38
Dying's the answer
39
The dying be done
40
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
41
42
Come from the country, come from the country
43
Come from the country, come from the country
44
The city and shore
45
They come from the wind and the rain
46
They come from the fires whose ashes are cold
47
They come from the desert snow
48
They feel they'll be dying but more than that fear
49
The cries of oppression that no-one can hear
50
To every last rebel
51
Surrender's all wrong
52
'cause johnny's got a gun
Only a few will understand
