Crying Shame lyrics
by Jack Johnson
It's such a tired game, will it ever stop?
How will this all play out,
Out of sight out of mind now?
By now we should know how to communicate instead of coming to blows
We're on a roll and there ain't no stoppin us now
We're burning out of control
Isn't it strange how we're all burnin under the same sun?
Buy now and save.
It's a war for peace,
It's the same old game, but do we really wanna play?
We could close our eyes, it's still there.
We could say it's us against them.
We could try but nobody wins.
Gravity has got a hold on us all.
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, cause words all burn the same.
And who we gonna 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 that ain't comin home.
I could close me eyes, it's still there.
I could 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?
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,
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 gonna blame?
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
