For His Namesake

Little Johnny what’s your plan
What’cha gonna be when you’re a man
Are ya gonna be an engineer
You gotta be a millionaire
‘Cause daddy, mommy wants you too
Grandma, grandpa’s got faith in you

They’re sure you won’t bring shame
Upon the family name
Or would you

Do you wanna be a fighting man
Don’t you wanna help protect this land
Wanna be a doctor learn things to do
You just gotta be well to do
‘Cause everybody wants you to
Everybody’s got faith in you

They’re sure you won’t bring shame
Upon the family name
Or would you

Johnny don’t despair
It’s not that they don’t care
But this world they built for you
Is a world that’s new
And it seems they can’t get the old world out of their head
Old ideas will never die
Until we all are dead

Little Johnny’s made his plan
He just wish they’d understand
That in the midst of all this mess
Money can’t replace the happiness
Everybody’s cryin’, oh hear them cryin’
Grandma, grandpa’s died, oh yeah
There seems that good old shame
Upon the family name
Or have you
