What Do We Say When Johnny Comes Home?

Labels:

    One of my favorite anti-war songs, from T.S.O.L., mainly because it's so haunting on the apathy. Joe Wood sings on "American Zone," during a period when Jack Grisham had left the band. I really enjoyed the studio recording, but I don't see it online, so just turn this up on your tablet:

    There's blood on the streets again today
    All the people dying what a price we have to pay
    Around the world they're fightin'
    It's not that far away
    feel the darkness
    Can we change our ways?

    [Chorus:]
    We live in the American zone
    Free of fear in our American home
    Swimmin pool and digital phone
    What do we say when Johnny comes home

    Johnny just got back from war today
    Beruit weekend, the powder keg
    He was 20 years old and he lost both of his legs
    We're all really sorry today

    [Chorus]

    What do we say
    What do we say
    What do we say
    When Johnny comes home
    and he lost his legs    .
