"Behind Closed Doors"
by Brian K. Vagnini (c) 1989

(V) Little Johnny came home
and he slammed the door
He woke up Daddy and they couldn't
take no more

(B) Blackened Eye, Broken Ribs
Bleeding gums and bleeding lips
little Johnny is bruised
badly beaten, abused

(C) Behind Closed Doors
Behind Closed Doors

(V) No one knows what goes on
In a place calle home
No one knows except
the victim

All he did was make noise
Where no one was in sight
All he did was cry
throughout the night

(C)
Behind Closed Doors


(Drum fill)

(Guitar Solo)

(C)

(V) No one knows what goes on
in a place called home
no one knows except
the victim

(B) Blackened eye, broken ribs
bleeding gums and bleedibg lips
another victim is bruised
and it could be you

(C)

Behind closed doors
