Good People lyrics
by Jack Johnson



Well, you win, it's your show now

So what's it gonna be

Cause people will tune in

How many train wrecks do we need to see

Before we lose touch of

We thought this was low

Well, it's bad, getting worse so



Where'd all the good people go

I've been changing channels

I don't see them on the TV shows

Where'd all the good people go

We got heaps and heaps of what we sow



They got this and that

With a rattle'l'tat

Testin, 1, 2

Man, what you gonna do

Bad news, misused

Got too much to lose

Gimme some truth

Now whose side are we on

Whatever you say, turn on the boobtube

I'm in the mood to obey

So lead me astray, and by the way now



Where'd all the good people go

I've been changing channels

I don't see them on the TV shows

Where'd all the good people go

We got heaps and heaps of what we sow



Sitting around, feeling far away

So far away, but I can feel the debris

Can you feel it

You interrupt me from a friendly conversation

To tell me how great it's all gonna be

You might notice some hesitation

Cause it's important to you, it's not important to me

But way down by the edge of your reason

Well, it's beginning the show

And all I really wanna know is



Where'd all the good people go

I've been changing channels

I don't see them on the TV shows

Where'd all the good people go

We got heaps and heaps of what we sow



(Where'd all the good people go)

They got this and that

With a rattle'l'tat

Testin, 1, 2

Man, what you gonna do

Bad news, misused

Gimme some truth

You got too much to lose

Now whose side are we on

But everyday anyway, ok whatever you say

(Where'd all the good people go)

Wrong or resolute, I'm in the mood to obey

Station through station

Desensitizing the nation



Where'd all the people go



Going, going, gone
