Jack Johnson - Crying Shame

It's such a tired game Will it ever stop How will this all play out Out of sight, out of mind 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 it's a war for peace It's the same old game But do we really want to play? We could close our eyes it's still there We could say it's us against them We can try but nobody wins Gravity has got a hold on us all We try to put it out But it's 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, it's such a crying crying crying shame It's such a crying crying crying shame It's such a crying crying crying shame, shame, shame By now It's beginning to show A number of people are numbers who aint coming home I can close my eyes it's still there Close my mind be alone I can close my heart and not care But gravity has got a hold on us all It's 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? It's 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 Out of sight, out of mind And who we gunna blame? On and on It's such a crying crying crying shame It's such a crying crying crying shame shame shame
