Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static (2008) - They Do They Don't lyrics

  • Tied down against the tracks
    Screamin' in silent black and white
    You trust us
    We are such villains
    We will tell ourselves anything we want to hear
    If we are willin’
    To listen is to learn
    And too much is what we deserve
    And how come when we say that we do; we don’t
    Can pray to anybody you want; we won’t

    OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH

    But if were the ones to blame then the fruit
    It shouldn’t taste so good
    We were used
    To think we got nothing to lose
    We’re losin’ everything but the truth
    Cause walkin’ straight into a road block, bendin’
    Left, it ended
    Your point of view is chosen by the serpent’s rules

    With all it’s do’s and don’ts
    The future’s an empty promise
    I’m concerned and so tired of waitin’
    But we could sell it wooden horses full of nightmares
    And when they open
    This all might be composed
    There’s no goin’ back to the good old days
    It’s just a favoring and some new light
    Archaism is a dusty road leadin’ us back to nowhere

    If we’re the ones to blame then the fruit
    It shouldn’t taste so good
    We were used
    To think we got nothing to lose
    We’re losin’ everything but the truth
    Cause walkin’ straight into a road block, endin’
    Left, it bended
    Your point of view is chosen by the serpent’s rules

    OH OH OH OH

    How come when we say we do; we don’t
    How come when we say we will; we won’t
    How come when we say we do; we don’t
    How come when we say we will; we won’t
