Crush the resistence before it's begun
   Sounds of voices you don't have to confront
   Your hands upon a hero
   Becoming a man
   Better watch out
   'Cause johnny's got a gun
  
   Ooh get all the armies
   Get all the arms
   Get all the armories
   The harbour's blocated
   The streets barricated
   Every thought is under lock and key
   There's an ideal rising that you can't protect
   From the same poor souls you say you protect
   There's a fire of burning hatred in every mother's son
   Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
  
   Anchored your war ships
   Claimed all the air-strips
   Readied the seeds of decay
   Stolen youth to fill your troups
   Keeping rebellion at bay
   The fathers before you now lie in the graves
   Being remembered before it's too late
   And the sons you call rebels becoming one
   Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
  
   The hour's upon you
   The past will soon haunt you
   Yesterday becomes today
   The helpless the hopeless
   The lost ones the homeless
   The weak can't afford to be brave
   There's only so much a poor man can take
   Before he no longer fears making mistakes
   Dying's the answer
   The dying be done
   Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
  
   Come from the country, come from the country
   Come from the country, come from the country
   The city and shore
   They come from the wind and the rain
   They come from the fires whose ashes are cold
   They come from the desert snow
   They feel they'll be dying but more than that fear
   The cries of oppression that no-one can hear
   To every last rebel
   Surrender's all wrong
   'Cause johnny's got a gun
