(Cretu/Peterson - Cretu/Hirschburger)
i got something on my mind
makes me sad and makes my cry - oh no

johnny wanna live

just an ordinary day

an animal will pass away - oh no
johnny wanna live


who's to say he got no rights
even not a right to life
don't know why it leaves you cold

don't know how to make it show - oh no
johnny wanna live
johnny wanna live


got to give his skin away
for coats they wear on summerdays - oh no

johnny wanna live

beauty aid and all the rest

come directly from a test - oh no
johnny wanna live


through his eyes i look inside his heart
he can feel like me and you
can't defend himself cause he can't talk

and this is why i talk you

johnny isn't just a name

he stands for every creature's pain - oh no
johnny wanna live
johnny wanna live


go and try to look inside his heart
you can find your own mistakes

try to hide them thinking he can't talk
but he can read them in your face


i got something on my mind
it makes me sad
and it makes me cry - oh no

let him live

tell me why it leaves you cold

i swear
i'm gonna make it show - oh no
johnny wanna live

johnny wanna live
