    Story Behind the Song
    Song was motivated by life experience. Lyrics try to express the frustration of being less fortunate. Music written at rehearsal studio. Lyrics were written at several locales. This song took about a month to become how it sounds on this recording. Basic tracks were one or two takes. The Lead, Vocals, and tamborine were worked on sporadically for about one year. That's right One year. Hope you like it.

    Lyrics
    Little Johnny Bebop went into a gun shop
    bought himself some piece of mind and what a price he had to pay
    Johnny wants his freedom, can't join'em so he'll beat'em
    Can't see what you're seein old Johnny anyway

    Born in streets of hunger, it really ain't no wonder
    patience as a virtue was never Johnny's way
    Now he's growing colder, got a boulder on his shoulder
    and you would be the wiser to stay out of Johnny's way

    Years of poverty have left its scar
    the great society hasn't come so far
    the harbingers of greed have sown their ugly seed
    and the only thing that grows are the prison bars

    Little Johnny Bebop, waiting at a bus stop
    standing in a city street that's seen its better days
    And sooner than later as the pain gets only greater
    then all the people's hopes and dreams get strew along the way
