Song Lyrics

This big daddy
I wanna see my boy, anybody seen my boy?
Big dad comin' out
Yo man, he cut out with that D and the chick, man
He cut out with the D and the chick, man

I was a teenage zombie

What's Johnny doin' out on a Tuesday night
Johnny can't read, Johnny can't write
Johnny just don't understand

Johnny don't care about this world
As long as he can f*ck his girl
And prove that he's a man

Johnny wastes his days eatin' 'ludes
He's a teenage vegetable
Gettin' high proves that he's cool

Johnny hates to think, he's ignorant
He's a mindless brainwashed pig
Ring a bell, he starts to drool

Degenerated, degenerated
And your minds have vegetated
Degenerated, degenerated
And your thoughts are constipated

He's got PCP in his veins
He's got a void in his brain
He's addicted to the TV

And when he's old, he's gonna have a son
Both grow old, deaf and dumb
What's to become of young Johnny?

Dave Rubinstein, Paul Bakija
