Jack Johnson - They Do, They Don't Lyrics

Tied down against the tracks
Screamin' in a silent black
And why'd you trust us?
We are such villains

We would tell ourselves
Anything we want to hear
If we are willing

To listen is to learn
And too much is what we deserve
And how come when we say that we do, we don't?
Pray to anybody you want, we won't
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

If we're the ones to blame then the fruit
Shouldn't taste so good, we will use
To think that we got nothin' to lose
Losin' everything but the truth

Walkin' straight into a roadblock
Bendin', left here endin'
Your point of view was chosen
By the serpent's rules

With all this do's and dont's
The futures an empty promise
Unconcerned and so tired

We could sell it wooden horses
Full of madness and when they open
This all might be imposed
Theres no goin' back to the good old days
It's just a phase, bring me some new life
Archaism is a dusty road
Leadin' us back to nowhere

If we're the ones to blame then the fruit
Shouldn't taste so good, we were used
To think that we got nothin' to lose
Losin' everything but the truth

Walkin' straight into a roadblock
Endin', left here bendin'
Your point of view was chosen
By the serpent's rules
Oh oh oh oh

How come when we say we do we don't?
How come when when we say we will we won't?
How come when we say we do we don't?
How come when when we say we will we won't?
