Lyrics From the Fire to the Frying Pan - Sonic Boom Six

From the Fire to the Frying Pan

He’s just a boy from an average place
he sleeps with a girl with an average face
plays on the drums in an average band
can’t get a job in an average land
he met a guy in the local pub
asked him along to a nice meet up
some of the guys had a lot to say
kind of extreme but they seemed okay
see them coming over here to take what’s yours
Johnny nodded but he wasn’t really sure
won’t be happy till we’re living by their laws
every time we give an inch they just want more
Johnny just take it easy, easy
take a step back and see me here I stand
out from the fire too the frying pan
well if you wanna hate me here I am
He’s just a boy in an angry mob
might throw a punch but he ain’t no yob
proud of defending his own country
blissfully blind of his history
see them coming over here to take what’s yours
Johnny found the cause we’re fighting for
some of them are gonna start a holy war
how to tell them ones apart I’m still not sure
Johnny just take it easy, easy
take a step back and see me here I stand
out from the fire to the frying pan
well if you wanna hate me here I am
I don’t mean to be mean here, mean here
but you have to believe me take my hand
out from the fire to the frying pan
well if you wanna hate me here I am
are you too far gone to see
that when you talk of us and them, well where does that leave me
and the boy you used to be
the boy you used to be, Johnny
Johnny just take it easy, easy
Johnny just take it easy, easy
Johnny just take it easy, easy
take a step back and see me here I stand
out from the fire to the frying pan
well if you wanna hate me here I am
I don’t mean to be needy, needy
but you have to believe me take my hand
out from the fire to the frying pan
well if you wanna hate me here I am
