Gone Going Lyrics - The Black Eyed Peas

1 (will.i.am)

2 Johnny wanna be a big star

3 Get on stage and play the guitar

4 Make a little money, buy a fancy car

5 A big old house and an alligator

6 Just to match with them alligator shoes

7 He's a rich man so he's no longer singing the blues

8 He's singing songs about material things

9 And platinum rings and watches that go bling

10 But, diamonds don't bling in the dark

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

12 Sooner or later it's just gonna fall apart

13 Cause his fans can't relate to his new found art

14 He ain't doing what he did from the start

15 And that's putting in some feeling and thought

16 He decided to live his life shallow

17 Passion is love for material

18 (Jack Johnson)

19 And its gone... gone... going...

20 Gone... everything gone... give a damn...

21 Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing...

22 Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone.

23 (will.i.am)

24 You see yourself in the mirror

25 And you feel safe cause it looks familiar

26 But you afraid to open up your soul

27 Cause you don't really know, don't really know

28 Who is, the person that's deep within

29 Cause you content with just being the naive brown man

30 And you fail to see that its trivial

31 Insignificant, you addicted to material

32 I've seen your kind before

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

34 Packaged up with incense sticks

35 With them vegetarian meals

36 To you that's righteous

37 You're fiction like books

38 You need to go out to life and look

39 Cause... what happens when they take your material and

40 You already sold your soul and it's...

41 (Jack Johnson)

42 And its gone... gone... going...

43 Gone... everything gone... give a damn...

44 Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing...

45 Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone.

46 (will.i.am)

47 You say that time is money and money is time

48 So you got mind in your money and your money on your mind

49 But what about... that crime that you did to get paid

50 And what about... that bid, you can't take it to your brain

51 (Jack Johnson)

52 What about those shoes you're in today

53 They'll do no good on the bridges you burnt along the way

54 (will.i.am)

55 All that money that you got gonna be gone

56 That gear that you rock gonna be gone

57 The house upon the hill gonna be gone

58 The gold purse on your grill gonna be gone

59 The ice on your wrist gonna be gone

60 That nice little Miss gonna be gone

61 That whip that you roll gonna be gone

62 And what's worst is your soul will be already gone

63 (Jack Johnson)

64 And its gone... gone... going...

65 Gone... everything gone... give a damn...

66 Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing...

67 Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone.
