Johnny

It's another day at school
學校的又一天
And he's just walking out the door
他剛剛走出門
Got his rucksack on his back
書包背在背上
And his feet dragging on the floor
拖拉著腳步
Always late for when he's questioned
永遠都遲到，但是當人問起時
He can't think of what to say
他不知道該說些什麼
Hides the bruises from the teachers
藏起被老師打後留下的淤青
Hoping that they go away
他希望它們自己能消失
Even though his mom and dad
雖然他的父母
They both got problems of their own
也有自己的麻煩要處理
Caught a catch at 22
他左右為難
But he 'd still rather be at home
但是還是寧願留在家裡
Cries himself to sleep and prays
哭著入睡，祈禱著
When he wakes up things might have changed
當他醒來時，世界會變得不一樣
But everything's still the same
但是一切依舊
But didn't you say
你不是說過了
You always said that I should speak up hmm
你一直都說，我應該大聲發言......
But it seems like all the things
但是好像
You said to me before meant nothing at all
你對我說過的話全都不算數
Because
因為
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
我一直告訴你說強尼在打我
That's why I'm late for school
這就是我上學遲到的原因
(But you never listen)
(但你從不理會)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
反而你總是責怪我
For things I didn't do
因為不是我做的事
(For what it's worth)
（不管對錯與否）
I didn't even want to tell you anything
我是怕事態會變得更糟
In case it made things worse
我沒想告訴過你任何事
(Just so you know)
(你現在知道了)
Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
每一次我說強尼在打我
Hey mom and dad it hurts
嗨，爸爸媽媽，那很痛
Every day keeps on repeating
日復一日地重複
Like the record on replay
就像是唱片在重播
Slowly getting off the bus
慢慢地走下公車
With Johnny waiting at the gates
強尼正等在校門口
Like a friend who will smile
就像個朋友一樣
And wave at him or calling out his name
微笑著揮手，喊著他的名字
Put his arm around his neck
摟著他的脖子說，
Whisper now give me all your change!
“嘿，怎麼樣，把零花錢都給我”
To afraid to make a scene
害怕引起別人注意
Or plea with him to letting go
或是向他求情放過自己
He just takes whatever's coming
他就這樣承受著一切
Feels the pain with every blow
感受著每一拳帶來的疼痛
Tries in vain to make himself be heard
一到家
As soon as he gets home
就徒勞地想讓別人知道發生了什麼
But everything's still the same
但是一切依舊......
