Going quite Gnu-Wayve.

Musically and lyrically this isn't the most sophisticated of songs.

Painful afro-reggae change of rhythmic pattern.

Possible hits of Some Guys Have All the Luck.

Bit Who.

Occasionally hints of The Who.

The song is written from the viewpoint of a 9-year-old boy who is constantly being told to be good, but prefers to daydream rather than concentrate in class or play sports.

Johnny feels like he understands some of his instructions, but also that he is completely misunderstood by the adult world.
