"Staple It Together - Live In San Diego, California / 2008" lyrics - JACK JOHNSON

It's really
Too bad
He became a prisoner of his own past
He stabbed a moment in the back
With a brown thumb tack
That held up the list of things he gotta do
It's really
No good
He's moving on before he understood
He shot the future in the foot with every step it took
From the faces that he knew 'cause he forgot to look

[Chorus:]
Better staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Mm hmm

Well I guess you could say
That he don't even know where to begin
'Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
Diggin deeper through the ditch
Every chance he missed
And the mess he made
'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

[Chorus:]
Better staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather
Mm hmm

[Verse 2: Money Mark]
Yeah, uh
What up, [?] in a street or in a condo
[?] like zero, slash like Cicero
Another episode written in Da Vinci Code
My words explode and split into electrodes
Giant step, I [?]
Sound checks and record stores and tape decks
Jack's reaction, robots heard the wack [?]
Broken dreams, living life on a silver screen
There's no static, closer to automatic
Movie magic, soundtrack so cinematic
So explosive, like Joe the lava flow
Body and soul [?] remote control
From the way-back 8-track [?]
Spit fire from [?]

[Bridge: Jack and Zach Gill]
If the weather gets better
We should get together
Spend a little time and we could do whatever
And if we get together we'll be twice as clever
So, staple it together and call it bad weather, mm hmmm
