Great Expectations |
| Johnny’s still got all his confirmation money |
| That you won’t let him spend |
| Works on the building till 6 am in the summer |
| And you give him twenty percent |
| Johnny got a lot on conflicting ideas in his head |
| And he’s oh so afraid |
| He got himself a power rack and a new haircut |
| Well he just tryna make the grade |
| Those old routines don’t go too far |
| Those old routines ain’t what we are |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie |
| He won’t let you down |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah |
| He won’t let you down |
| Can’t leave this town for fear of independence |
| Yeah boy polish that ball and chain |
| And why ever leave this sacred place of worship |
| When everywhere else probably looks the same |
| Just get yourself a girl that you don’t really love |
| And stay together for the kids |
| Or you could stand up straight and run outside |
| And go ahead and live |
| But those old routines don’t get you far |
| Those old routines ain’t what we are |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie |
| He won’t let you down |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah |
| He won’t let you down |
| And all I see |
| Is this great expectation |
| Hanging over you and me |
| And now you lying on the floor man |
| Head in hands feeling low |
| Well you’d just love to get it straight |
| Pray for 1958 |
| Oh go Johnny go go |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie |
| He won’t let you down |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah |
| He won’t let you down |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie |
| He won’t let you down |
| Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah |
| He won’t let you down |
