Stay gold…
Do it for Johnny!
Nothing gold can stay.
You get tough like me and you dont get hurt.
You look out for yourself and nothing can touch you…
I lie to myself all the time.
But I never believe me.
Lets do it for Johnny, man.
Well do it for Johnny!
Were all we have left.
We ought to be able to stick together against anything.
If we dont have each other, we dont have anything.
Things are rough all over, but it was better that way.
That way you could tell the other guy was human too.
Well do things my way this time, or we wont do them at all.
Im never gonna look at clouds again.
You dont know what a few months in jail can do to you, man.
I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man.
But I dont wanna die now.
You cant win, even if you whip us.
Youll still be where you were before at the bottom.
Its like the mist is whats pretty, ya know?
All gold and silver.
You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want.
Theres still lots of good in the world.
Thats why people dont ever think to blame the Socs and are always ready to jump on us.
We look hoody and they look decent.
He just aint like the rest of us.
I mean, I could fall in love with Dallas Winston.
I hope I never see him again or I will.
Youre gold when youre a kid, like green.
Sixteen years on the street and you could learn a lot.
But all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn.
