[Verse 1]
He stays home from work this time
He never really told his wife
He never really told a lie
But this time, he decides that it's alright
It's alright
No one really knows his mind
And no one knows behind his eyes
The man deserves a medal
But he's never really won a prize before
He goes to lock the door

[Pre-Chorus]
He has fallen in love
He knows it's enough
But the world looks down and frowns

[Chorus]
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now
We all need you now

[Verse 2]
Someone said, "Where you goin'?"
And someone said to you, "Goodbye."
They deflect the disrespect
When they say that they blame it on the times
They blame it on the times
We all know you're qualified
To fix a chair and love your wife
They all know you're qualified
But they lie when they blame it on the times
Oh, we blame it on the times

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, he has fallen in love
He knows it's enough
But the world looks down and frowns

[Chorus]
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now
We all need you now

[Bridge]
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame and
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame and
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame

[Chorus]
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now

​twenty one pilots

twenty one pilots (also stylized as twenty øne piløts, TWENTY ØNE PILØTS, twenty | one | pilots, and TØP) consists of vocalist, pianist, bassist, and ukulele player Tyler Joseph and his best friend Josh Dun, who plays the drums and trumpet. The band’s genre is difficult to define, but best described as indie pop, with elements of rap, hip hop and rock. Fans have proclaimed their own music genre as “Schizoid Pop.”

The name twenty one pilots was inspired by the Arthur Miller play, All My Sons, a play about a man whose choice to send out faulty airplane parts for the good of his business and family caused the death of twenty-one pilots during World War II. The aspect of the play which influenced the band is the moral decisions and consequences that come with everyday decisions. Thus, the band fights the constant battle between man and mental illness.

Basically, we are all responsible for the preservation of our personal joy; but happiness is different. Joy is not circumstantial, happiness is.
