If you’re not comfortable with yourself
How could you ever be with someone else?
If you don’t like the way you look
Then make a change for yourself
That’s all the advice it took for johnny to change
Johnny is now free from the range
For he has forgotten his childish past
He raises a different flag on a new mast
John found God on the corner of 5th and Speer
Now Johnny has nothing to fear
He is a man now
For he is forgiven
Nothing stays trapped in his chest
Yeah John is the best
For he found God on the corner of 5th and Speer
Now he has no thing to fear
Except losing his faith
But that won’t happen
If he holds on to that cheer
And now I just heard
That John won man of the year
He gave all his thanks to God
And everyone applauded
Because he stuck to his plan
Yeah John is the man
Whether you’re man of the year
Or you’re a nobody no one wants to hear
Just meet at the corner of 5th and Speer
Find yourself some of that blissful cheer
Because the sky is so clear
When you forget all of your fears
Don’t let those clouds haunt you
They’re just there to taunt you
Make those clouds evaporate
Don’t turn them into sources of hate
So it’s always sunny in John’s mind
No he’s not blind
It just took him some time to find
That righteous source of energy
But what did Johnny really find down there
On the corner of 5th and Speer?
For he has lost all of his fear
But where the hell is his flair?
