Thread Name: Lyr Req: Johnny Got a Gun (Tom Paxton)
Subject: Any one know..
I heard a tune on the radio after a recent school shooting and I can't find it anywhere )-; The chorus was..

"Johnny was afraid of dye'n young, everybody he knew had guns..so Johnny got a gun and every little thing was cool. It ended with .."his feet didn't touch the floor."

It sounded like Phil Ochs but I have looked at his disography and no luck. Any info on this would be very helpful.
