Notwithstanding Lyrics - 1996

[ Buy Notwithstanding ]

So I'm high again
And I'm looking at my only friend in you
And you're high too
Does it sound unreal
That my house is full
Of nothing I can feel
I look for some direction and I find
A woman who won't reach me
And a man
I ask him what it means

And he says
It's up to you
Johnny you must do
What you have to do
And he said
It's up to you
Johnny do what's right
But do for you

So I crashed the car
And I turn up loud my old guitar and play
Some Ramones or Hendrix thing
'Cause it seems to me
That all I see
Is that you didn't mind a thing
And all I say just goes right through
Have you seen my lonely days
Do you know
I wouldn't be like you

And he says
It's up to you
Johnny you must do
What you have to do
And he said
It's up to you
Johnny do what's right
But do for you

So I'm high again
And I'm looking at my empty bed it's strange
I can't feel a thing
Though the lights are low
The candles on my coffin
Let me know
The woman cries for her I know
How come you never heard me
Oh man How come you'd never see

You'd just say
It's up to you
Johnny you must do
What you have to do
And he said
It's up to you
Johnny do what's right
What I did
I did for you
