A song of childhood and becoming a criminal.

A boy held the silver coin in his small hands,

He did it just for those he deeply loved,

What was good and bad endured his whole life,

But he only wanted to survive.

But he only wanted to survive.

Johnny, you will live forever,

In sad stories we can tell,

Johnny, you weren’t just a bad man,

You just went right from heaven to hell.

You just went right from heaven to hell.

Soon he learned to do the perfect tricks and treats,

To get the money was an easy thing.

To be slow or quick he learned at the age of five

But he only wanted to survive.

But he only wanted to survive.

Johnny, you will live forever,

In sad stories we can tell,

Johnny, you weren’t just a bad man,

You just went right from heaven to hell.

You just went right from heaven to hell.

He appears like a ghost out of the darkness,

And returns there without any sweet caress,

Love and hate were always close together.

What started as a silly game

with winners and losers, was so insane.

The life will chase you now or never.

Johnny, you will live forever,

In sad stories we can tell,

Johnny, you weren’t just a bad man,

You just went right from heaven to hell.

You just went right from heaven to hell.

Silly empty darkness hurts his faithful dreams

Reality without remorse is worse than it seems,

Hope and trust were always close together.

What started as a silly game

with winners and losers, was so insane.

The life will chase him now or never.

Johnny, you will live forever,

In sad stories we can tell,

Johnny, you weren’t just a bad man,

You just went right from heaven to hell.

You just went right from heaven to hell.
