Outnumbered a million to one 
All of the [bad word] in this [bad word] town 
Can't keep Johnny down 
Men piled up in a towering mound 
None of them once has found a way 
To keep Johnny down 

Spending days by myself 
Remembering slights 
I'm not a monument to justice 
Plus which I don't forget a face 

And they can't (down, down, down) 
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down) 
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down) 
That'll keep old Johnny down (down, down, down) 

Some dude 
Hitting golf balls on the moon 
Bathroom in his pants 
And he thinks he's better than me 
I'm pointing a finger at my own face 
They can't know what's in here 
And they can't keep Johnny down 

Beneath my dignity 
To flip off the guy 
When he pulls up alongside 
To say my gas cap is unscrewed 

And they can't (down, down, down) 
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down) 
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down) 
That'll keep old Johnny down (down, down, down) 

And they don't (down, down, down) 
Don't know what I've seen (down, down, down) 
They can't know what's in here (down, down, down) 
And they can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
