How come when we say we will we won't

作词：Jack Johnson

作曲：Jack Johnson

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 its 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
