I got something on my mind Makes me sad and makes me cry, oh no Don't you wanna live? Just an ordinary day An animal will pass away, oh no Don't you wanna live? Who's to say he got no rights? Give another eye to the light Don't know why he leaves you cold Don't know how to make him so well known Don't you wanna live? Don't you wanna live? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Through his eyes I look inside his heart He can feel it, me and you Can't defend himself cause he gets on And this is why I talk to you Johnny isn't just a name It stands for every creature's pain, oh no Don't you wanna live? Don't you wanna live? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Go and try to look inside his heart You can find your own mistakes Try to hide them thinking he can tell But you can't read them in your face Gotta give his skin away For coats that wear on summer days, oh no Tell me why he leaves you cold I swear I'm gonna make it so well known Don't you wanna live? Don't you wanna live? Don't you wanna live? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Don't you wanna live? Oh, Johnny Don't you wanna live? You have the right to live Oh, Johnny Don't you wanna live? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Don't you wanna live? Don't you wanna live?
