Johnny wanna be a big star |
| [00:06.69] |
Get on stage and play the guitar |
| [00:08.90] |
Make a little money, buy a fancy car |
| [00:11.27] |
Big old house and an alligator |
| [00:13.77] |
Just to match with them alligator shoes |
| [00:16.25] |
He's a rich man so he's no longer singing the blues |
| [00:19.45] |
He's singing songs about material things |
| [00:21.83] |
And platinum rings and watches that go bling |
| [00:24.21] |
But, diamonds don't bling in the dark |
| [00:26.37] |
He a star now, but he ain't singing from the heart |
| [00:28.79] |
Sooner or later he's just gonna fall apart |
| [00:31.09] |
Coz his fans can't relate to his new found art |
| [00:33.73] |
He ain't doing what he did from the start |
| [00:36.40] |
And thats putting in some feeling and thought |
| [00:38.96] |
He decided to live his life shallow |
| [00:41.18] |
Passion is love for material |
| [00:43.31] |
And its gone... gone... going... |
| [00:45.62] |
Gone... everything gone... give a damn... |
| [00:49.20] |
Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing... |
| [00:52.74] |
Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone. |
| [01:03.73] |
You see yourself in the mirror |
| [01:05.37] |
And you feel safe coz it looks familiar |
| [01:07.78] |
But you afraid to open up your soul |
| [01:10.09] |
Coz you don't really know, don't really know |
| [01:12.28] |
Who is, the person that's deep within |
| [01:14.90] |
Coz you are content with just being the nieve brown man |
| [01:17.35] |
And you fail to see that its trivial |
| [01:19.87] |
Insignificant, you addicted to material |
| [01:23.11] |
I've seen your kind before |
| [01:24.50] |
Your the type that thinks souls is sold in a store |
| [01:27.78] |
Packaged up with inscent sticks |
| [01:29.49] |
With them vegetarian meals |
| [01:30.82] |
To you that's righteous |
| [01:32.72] |
You're fiction like books |
| [01:34.29] |
You need to go out to life and look |
| [01:36.80] |
Coz... what happens when they take your material |
| [01:39.45] |
You already sold your soul |
| [01:41.06] |
And its gone... gone... going... |
| [01:44.66] |
Gone... everything gone... give a damn... |
| [01:47.53] |
Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing... |
| [01:50.87] |
Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone. |
| [02:00.71] |
You say that time is money and money is time |
| [02:03.26] |
So you got mind in your money and your money on your mind |
| [02:05.60] |
|
| [02:05.62] |
But what about... that crime that you did to get paid |
| [02:08.07] |
And what about... that bid, you can't take it to your brain |
| [02:12.21] |
Why you on about those shoes you'll wear today |
| [02:14.80] |
They'll do no good on the bridges you've walked along the way |
| [02:20.10] |
|
| [02:20.19] |
All that money that you got gonna be gone |
| [02:22.40] |
That gear that you rock gonna be gone |
| [02:25.21] |
The house up on the hill gonna be gone |
| [02:27.31] |
The gold -- on your grill gonna be gone |
| [02:29.86] |
The ice on your wrist gonna be gone |
| [02:32.34] |
That nice little Miss gonna be gone |
| [02:34.88] |
That whip that you roll gonna be gone |
| [02:37.22] |
And what's worst is your soul will be gone |
| [02:39.55] |
And its gone... gone... going... |
| [02:42.45] |
Gone... everything gone... give a damn... |
| [02:45.59] |
Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing... |
| [02:49.02] |
Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone. |
| [03:00.75] |
