Johnny Cant Decide
Jonathan Larson
[JON]
Break of day, the dawn is here
Johnny's up and pacing
Compromise or persevere?
His mind is racing

Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
Can he make his mark, if he gives up his spark?
Johnny can't decide

[SUSAN]
Susan longs to live by the sea
She's through with competition
Susan wants a family
Johnny's got a tough decision

Johnny has no guide

[JON & SUSAN]
Johnny wants to hide
Can he settle down[SUSAN][JON]And still not drown?And still not
Drown...[JON & SUSAN]
Johnny can't decide
[MICHAEL]
Michael's gonna have it all
His luck will never end
Johnny's backed against the wall
Can he bend his dreams, just like his friend?[JON]  Johnny sees that[SUSAN]Susan's rightSusan's right[MICHAEL]Ambition eats rightAmbition eats rightJohnny sees right Through youThrough youThrough youMichael doesn't see Michael doesn't seeIJohnnyWhy JohnnyHold on tightHold on tightHolds so tightTo the things that To the things thatJohnny feels are trueJohnny feels are trueJohnny feels are true[SUSAN & MICHAEL] Johnny has no guide[JON]  Johnny has no guide...Johnny wants to hide   Johnny wants to hide...[ALL]
How can you soar
If you're nailed to the floor?

Johnny can't decide

[JON (SPEAKING)]

I want to sit down, right now, at my piano, and write a song that people will listen to and remember, and do the same thing every morning, for the rest of my life[SUSAN & MICHAEL] Johnny has no guide[JON]  Johnny has no guide...Johnny wants to hide   Johnny wants to hide...[ALL]
