Lyrics Jack Johnson – Good People
Text:
You win
It’s your show, now
So what’s it gonna be
‘Cause people
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch of
We thought this was low
Well, it’s bad, getting worse, so
Where’d all the good people go?
I’ve been changing channels
I don’t see them on the TV shows
Where’d all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
They got this and that
With a rattle a tat
Testing one two,
Man, what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused,
Got too much to lose
Gimme some truth
Now whose side are we on?
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube
I’m in the mood to obey
So lead me astray
And by the way, now
Where’d all the good people go?
I’ve been changing channels
I don’t see them on the TV shows
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
Sitting ’round feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris
Can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it’s all gonna be
You might notice some hesitation
‘Cause it’s important to you, it’s not important to me
But way down by the edge of your reasons
It’s beginning to show
And all I really wanna know is…
Where’d all the good people go?
I’ve been changing channels
I don’t see them on the TV shows
Where’d all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
Where’d all the good people go?
They got this and that
With a rattle a tat
Testing one, two
Now what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused, give me some truth
You got too much to lose
(Where’d all the good people go?)
Whose side are we on today, anyway?
OK, whatever you say.
Wrong and resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
(Where’d all the good people go?)
Going, going, gone.
