Or is it just our fate?
And oh
But do we really want to play?
We're burning under control, isn't it strange
Upside out of my mouth
In the true sense of the word
Songwriters: Jack Johnson, Adam Topol
And how will this all play out
Close my mind be alone
I can close my eyes its still there
By now, its beginning the show
We can try but nobody wins
How we're all burning under the same sun
'Cause words are burning same
Its such a crying, crying, crying, shame
And is it in our blood?
We're on a roll and there ain't no stopping us now
Its such a crying, crying, crying, shame
And who we gonna blame?
Is not for me to say
We could say its us against them
Its such a tired game
And it won't take too long
How will this all play out
Its such a crying, crying, crying, shame
A number of people are numbers who ain't coming home
Are we using what we've learned?
How to communicate instead of coming to blows
But gravity has got a hold on us all
Its such a crying, crying, crying, shame, shame, shame
Will it ever stop?
Using fear as fuel, burning down our name
Its a terrific price to pay
Its such a tired game, will it ever stop?
We try to put it out, but its a growing flame
By now we say its a war for peace
On and on
By now we should know
Are we losing what we were?

Close my heart and not care
Upside out of my mouth
Gravity has got a hold on us all
Its the same old game
And who we gonna blame now?
But in the true sense of the word
Its such a crying, crying, crying, shame
Its such a crying, crying, crying, shame, shame, shame
We could close our eyes its still there
