Jack Johnson - Crying Shame Lyrics

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? 

Buy now and save, it’s a war for peace 
It’s the same old game 
But do we really want to play? 
We could close our eyes its still there 
We could say it’s us against them 
We could try but nobody wins 
Gravity has got a hold on us all 
We could try to put it out, but it’s a growing flame 
Using fear as fuel 
Burning down our name 
And it won’t take too long 
Words all burn the same 
And who are we going to blame now? 

It’s such a crying, crying, crying shame 

By now it’s beginning to show 
A number of people are numbers that aren’t coming home 
I could close my eyes it’s still there 
Close my mind be alone 
I could 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? 
But in the true sense of the word 
Are we losing what we were? 

It’s such a tired game 
Will it ever stop? 
It’s not for me to say 
Is it in our blood or is it in our fate? 
And how will this all play out? 
Out of sight, out of mind 
Who are we going to blame all in all? 

It’s just a crying, crying, crying shame
