[Will.i.am]

Johnny wanna be a big star

Get on stage and play the guitar

Make a little money

buy a fancy car

Big old house and an alligator

Just to match with them alligator shoes

Hes a rich man so he's no longer singin' the blues

Hes singing songs about material things

and platinum rings and watches that go bling

But, diamonds don't bling in the dark

He a star now, but he ain't singing it from the heart

Sooner or later it's just gonna fall apart

'Cause his fans can't relate to his new-found art.

He ain't doing what he did from the start

and that's putting in some feeling and thought

He decided to live his life shallow

Cash in his love for material

[Jack Johnson]

And its gone..gone..going..

gone..everything gone..give a damn..

gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing..

gone people..--- awkward with their things..

Gone.

[Will.i.am]

You see yourself in the mirror and you

Feel safe 'cause it looks familiar but you

Afraid to open up your soul 'cause you

Don't really know

Don't really know

who is,

The person that's deep within

'Cause you're content with just being

a name-brand man and you

Fail to see that its trivial,

Insignificent, you addicted to material

I've seen your kind before

You're the type that thinks souls is sold in a store

Packaged up with incense sticks

With a vegatarian meal

To you that's rightous

You're fiction like books

you need to go out to life and look

'Cause..What happens when they take your material

And you already sold your soul

[Jack Johnson]

And its gone..gone..going..

gone..everything gone..give a damn..

gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing..

gone people..--- awkward with their things..

Gone.

[Will.i.am]

You say that time is money

and money is time

so you got mind on your money

and your money on your mind

But what about..

That crime that you did to get paid

And what about..

That bit, you can't take it to your grave

[Jack Johnson]

And what about those shoes you're in today

They'll do no good

On the bridges you've burnt along the way

[Will.i.am]

All that money that you got

Gonna be gone

That gear that you rock

gonna be gone

The house up on the hill

gonna be gone

The gold --- on your grill

gonna be gone

The ice on your wrist

gonna be gone

That nice little miss

gonna be gone

That whip that you roll

gonna be gone

And what’s worse is your soul already gone

[Jack Johnson]

And its gone..gone..going..

gone..everything gone..give a damn..

gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing..

gone people..--- awkward with their things..

Gone.
