Jonny can you hear me
turn that music down
You're making too much noise
I mean it do it now
all that stuff is evil
Ozzy, Judas Priest
there's backwards messages
in that stuff that leads you to the beast
Jonny don't you hear me
open up that door
I've been calling you for hours
I won't say it anymore
just wait until your dad gets home
and sees what you have done
kicked out of school you've got no job
you're a useless delinquent bum
oh my god it's Jonny
hanging by his neck
all those metal albums
have led him to his death
Now it's time for parents
to open ears and listen
maybe it's too late
to see what you've been missing
music is no cause of death
it's you that suffocates
if you had opened your eyes and ears
you'd see just who's to blame
Who's to be responsible
for a life that's gone off track
who's the one who must be there
to see it gets put back
where were you to hear the cries
of a person in need
were you there to see the signs
or were you too busy
Now it's time for parents
to open ears and listen
maybe it's too late
to see what you've been missing
music is no cause of death
it's you that suffocates
if you had opened your eyes and ears
you'd see just who's to blame
Who's to be responsible
for a life that's gone off track
who's the one who must be there
to see it gets put back
where were you to hear the cries
of a person in need
were you there to see the signs
or were you too busy
Who's the cause, who's the blame
for a life that's not worth living
is it parents, family
who take without giving
so next time that you close your eyes
and choose to shift the blame
remember you can save a life
so really who's to blame?!
