Jack Johnson Crying Shame Lyrics

Crying Shame Lyrics



Its such a tired game

will it ever stop

How will this all play out

upside out of my mouth



By now we should know

how to communicate instead of coming to blows

we're on a roll

and there ain't no stopping us now

We're burning under control

Isn't it strange how

We're all burning under the same sun

by now we say its a war for peace

its the same old game

but do we really want to play?

we could close our eyes its still there

We could say its us against them

We can try but nobody wins

Gravity has got a hold on us all

we try to put it out

but its a growing flame

Using fear as fuel

Burning down our name

and it wont take too long

cause words are burning same

and who we gunna blame now?



And oh, Its such a crying crying crying shame

Its such a crying crying crying shame

Its such a crying crying crying shame, shame, shame



By now

its starting to show

a number of people are numbers who aint coming home

I can close my eyes its still there

close my mind be alone

close my heart and not care

but gravity has got a hold on us all

Its a terrific price to pay

but in the true sense of the word

Are we using what we've learned?

in the true sense of the word

Are we losing what we were?

Its such a tired game

will it ever stop?

is not for me to say

and is it in our blood?

or is it just our fate?

and how will this all play out

upside out of my mouth

and who we gunna blame?

on and on

Its such a crying crying crying shame

Its such a crying crying crying shame
