Johnny, No Sabe Por Qué

Born in a neighborhood by the water,
Dipped his feet there one morning,
He said, 'the whole world is my home'.

Thousands of stones at the windows,
Kisses under strange staircases,
Maybe a bit of weed
And a knuckle duster and a switchblade.

Johnny, doesn't know why,
Willy, doesn't know why,
Billy, doesn't know why.

He was sought by an old man with beards,
In a suit with blue and white stripes,
He said, 'The army is calling you, Asia'.

He thought that there Superman and Batman
Would have his back:
Everything would be like a day at the beach.

The foreign jungle is now his home
And he felt thirsty there one morning,
He went to approach a well of water
And fell into a pit of stakes.
