[C] [E]
[C] [G] [C] I'll number the [G] millions you [C] want, all of the [G] dicks in this [C] dick town
[G] Can't keep Johnny [C] down
[G] Men [C] piled up in a [G] towering [C] mound, none of them [G] once has found
[C] A way [G] to keep [C] Johnny [A] down
Spending days by [Em] myself remembering slights, I'm [A] not among them
Into [B] justice, laws [C] which I don't forget or faith
And [G] they can't, [C] can't keep [G] Johnny down
[C] They haven't yet [D] built the man, [C] to keep old [G] Johnny [C] down
[Em] [A] [C]
[D] [G] [C]
[A] [D] [G] Some [C] nerd, hitting golf balls [G] on the [C] moon
Bathroom in [G] his pants, [C] and he thinks he's better [G] than [C] me
[G] I'm [C] pointing a finger at my [G] own face, [C] they can't know [G] what's in here
[C] And they [G] can't keep Johnny [C]
[A] down
It needs my [Em] dignity to flip off the guy, when [A] a close-up fall [B] on sight
Say [C] my gas cap is on screen, and [G] they [C] can't
Can't keep [G] Johnny down
[C] They haven't yet built [G] the man, [C] that'll keep old [G] Johnny [C] down
And [G] they [C] don't, don't know what [G] I've seen
[C] They can't know [G] what's in here
[C] And they can't keep [G] Johnny down
[C] [Em] [A] [C]
