Johnny never went to college.
|
He couldn't afford the fee.
|
He got lucky; he had an uncle who worked for NBC.
|
Now Johnny's taking orders for people who shop from the TV
|
Mostly wealthy housewives who buy expensive jewelry.
|
|
It's a setup, to keep you down.
|
They set you up, then knock you down.
|
|
Johnny got laid off, his job sent overseas.
|
He made about 50 bucks day, his replacement only 3.
|
|
My mother never had much money; my grades were never all that great.
|
So how the fuck am I supposed to learn if education costs more than I make?
|
And how the fuck am I supposed to earn when good jobs want a college degree? Seven bucks an hour, what kind of future does that leave for me?!
|
|
It's a setup, to keep you down.
|
They set you up, then knock you down.(2x)
|
|
Johnny's going through some tough times and barely making both ends meet.
|
He can't find a job on account of the economy.
|
Johnny's feeling desperate; he's got kids to feed.
|
So the day that I met Johnny
|
He was robbing me.
