Jonny wanna be a big star
get on stage and play the guitar
make a little money buy a fancy car
a big ole house and a alligataaaah ( aligator )
just to match with them alligator shoes
Hes a rich man so theres no on singing the blues
he sing a song about material things...man
platinum rings watches and gold bling, but
diamonds dont bling in the dark
he a star now, but he aint singin it from the heart
Sooner or later its just gonna fall apart
cause his fans cant relate to his new found art
He aint doin what he did from the start
and thats footing and some filling far
he decided to live his life shallow
cash in his love for material
and it's gone
chorus ( jack johnson )
gone going gone...everything gone give a damn
gone be the birds when they dont want to sing
gone people
ackward with thier things....gone
you see yourself in the mirror
and ya ...feel safe cause it looks familiar
but ya ...afraid up to open up your soul
cause ya ...dont real know, dont really know
who is ... the person thats deep within
cause you content which is being the name brand man
thought to see that its trivial, isignificatnt you addicted to material
I seen your kind before
your the type that thinks souls is sold in the store
package up a insese sticks with a vegetarian melt dude thats rightious
your fiction like books , need to go out life and look
cause uh... what happens when they take your material , and you already sold your soul
and its....
chorus ( jack johnson )
gone going gone...everything gone give a damn
gone be the birds when they dont want to sing
gone people
ackward with thier things....gone
you say that time is money and money is time
so you got your mommy, and money and your money on your mind
but what about that crime you did to get paid
and what about that bid you cant take it to your grave
( jack johnson )
what about those shoes your in today, they will be no good, on the bridges you burnt along the way
all that money that you got
gonna be gone
yah..
That ___ that you got
gonna be gone
that house up on the hill
gonna be gone
the gold purse on your grill
gonna be gone
the ice on your wrist
gonna be gone
that nice little miss
gonna be gone
that whip that you roll ... gonna be gone
whats worst if your soul already gone...
chorus ( jack johnson )
gone going gone...everything gone give a damn
gone be the birds when they dont want to sing
gone people
ackward with thier things....gone
