From the Fire to the Frying Pan - Sonic Boom Six

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
