Oh Johnny Can't Pray
Helpless, hungry,homeless, and lost; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
The world is gone mad, sad sad sad; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
At 12, 13, 14, and 15 they are becoming moms; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
Black on black crimes is at an all time high; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
White on black crimes is at an all time high; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
The murder rate is going up, and education is going down; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
We are the riches country in the entire world, but in the race but in the race for homeless boys and girls; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
The crime rate is high, while the job rate is hanging low; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
I want to go to college and get a good job; but the money I will make, will go to my student loan rate; why mom why
Oh Johnny can't pray
One thing I want you to know here today is that at night or at day; that Johnny goes down on his knees and
Oh YES Johnny do pray.
