lead vocal: T.B. Schmit
Young Johnny Silver, trying to make do
Singing songs that no one cares to listen to
All that he dreams, maybe someday will come true
It might all happen but be careful what becomes of you
and…Johnny don’t you listen to the man upstairs
He doesn’t care if you’re there
He says he loves your sound
He’ll turn you upside down
He’ll smile and then he’ll frown
Behind youSay Johnny Silver playing across the land
Screaming teenagers have come to hold your hand
It was a dream you had to make it with your band
Good fortune came to you so change the world, if you can
and…Johnny don’t you listen to the man upstairs
He only wants to keep you there
He knows they love your sound
You’ve turned them upside down
Success you’ve finally found
Don’t changeRich Johnny Silver how’ve you gone so far
Do you like you psychedelic Rolls Royce car
You tell the world to hitch your wagon to a star
And they all follow you, never knowing where they are
and...Johnny don’t you listen to the man upstairs
He only wants to keep you there
He knows they love your sound
You’ve turned them upside down
Success you finally found
Don’t change
