Famous Jack Johnson (musician) Quotes

“And I don't pretend to know what you know
no no
now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
if we already knew everything that everybody knows
we would have nothing to learn tonight
and we would have nothing to show tonight
oh but everybody thinks
that everybody knows
about everybody else
nobody knows
anything about themselves
cause they're all worried about everybody else.”

Well they forgot this world keeps spinning.
And with each new day,

And as my mind begins to spread it’s wings
There’s no stopping curiosity.”

When this little girl came and she sat next to me
I never seen nobody move the way she did
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again.

Rhythm don't mean nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
Move like a jellyfish
Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop”

Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too”

but I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
It's the killing on this tv screen
you can't blame me it's those images he's seen.
Well you can't blame me says the media man
Well I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
And I just point my camera at what the people want to see
Man it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me.”

That he don't even know where to begin
Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid

Cause hate is such a strong word
And every brick he laid
A mistake they say
That his walls are getting taller
His world is getting smaller.”

Don't really need to pay attention to the alarm.”

Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else

And so he ties it up he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
He knows he ain't loved at all”

So lead me astray.”

Solar powered plastic plants
Pretty pictures of things we ate

You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when
You're moving like that”

and what about your mind, does it shine oh
are there things that concern you more than your time”
