Johnny, can you hear me?

Turn that music down

Your making too much noise

I mean it, do it now

All that stuff is evil

Ozzy, Judas Priest

Theres backwards messages in that stuff

That lead you to the beast



Johnny, can you hear me?

Open up that door

I've been calling you for hours

I won't say it anymore

Just wait until your dad gets home

And sees what you have done

Kicked out of school, you've got no job

You useless deliquent scum



Oh my god, it's Johnny

Hanging by his neck

All those metal albums

Have led him to his death



Now it's time for parents

To open your ears and listen

Maybe it's to late

To see what you've been missing

Music is no cause of death

It's you that suffocates

If you had opened your eyes and ears

You'd see just who's to blame



Who should be responsible for a life that's not on track?

Who's the one who must be there to see it gets put back?

Were you there to here the cries of a person in need?

Were you there to see the signs,

Or were you too busy?

Who should be responsible for a life that's not on track?

Who's the one who must be there to see it gets put back?

Where are you to hear the cries of a person in need?

Were you there to see the signs,

Or were you too busy?



Who's the cause?

Who's to blame

For a life not worth living?

Is it parents, family who take without giving

So next time that you close you eyes

And choose to shift the blame

Remember you could save a life

So, really who's to blame...
