Johnny Can't Read - Don Henley

[00:15.19][00:21.24][00:26.06][00:32.10][00:50.41][00:56.36][01:14.12][01:30.47][01:41.33][01:47.45][02:06.54][02:32.44][02:38.66][02:44.55][02:51.68][03:09.02]

Football, baseball, basketball games

Drinkin' beer, kickin' ass and takin' down names

With the top down, get-a-round, shootin' the line

Summer is here and Johnny's feelin' fine

[00:49.08][01:40.08]But Johnny can't read

[00:52.08][01:43.20]Summer is over and he's gone to seed

You know the Johnny can't read

You never learned nothin' that he'll ever need

Well, Johnny can dance and Johnny can love

[02:22.17]Johnny can push and Johnny can shove

Johnny can hang out; Johnny can talk tough

[02:28.22]Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up

[01:45.65]You know that Johnny can't read

Never learned nothin' that he'll ever need

Well, is it Teacher's fault? Oh No!

Is it Mommy's fault? Oh No!

Is it society's fault? Oh No!

[02:00.98]Well is it Johnny's fault? OH No

Couple years later, Johnny's on the run

Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun

Well, he went and did something

That he shouldn't oughta done

F.B.I. on his tail

"Use A Gun Go To Jail"

He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need

Well is is Teacher's fault? Oh No

Is it Mommie's fault? Oh No

Is it the President's fault? Oh No

Johnny can dance and Johnny can love

Johnny can pinball; Johnny can talk tough

[02:37.36]Johnny can't read

Well, recess is over

Recess is over!

Sitcoms, "T and A."

Johnny's mind is blown away

Cop shows, horror flicks

Johnny's brain is full of bricks

Rock show, Video

Boob tube, Rubik's cube

Game fools, Sunday school

Gain fans, Gobble gangs

Wonka wonka wonka

There's a new kid in town
