Jack Johnson - Gather Lyrics

Some of us need to gather
And others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied
Who's gonna pay the bills?

If anybody finds a flame
You gotta keep it safe and dry
If anybody goes for coffee, well
Gimme a piece of the pie, little piece of the pie

Then we gotta try to harvest
Somebody's gonna have to till
And what about a little shelter, what about a big house on the hill?

And who's gonna tend the garden
If the rain forgets to fall
And who's gonna spend as much as they can on baby Jesus at the mall?

Well, some of us need to gather
And others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied
Who's gonna pay the bills?

Now we got ourselves a surplus
Let's put it away for a while
We'll bring it back if we get hungry or just fashionably out-of-style

And who's gonna try to fix this, won't somebody please stop the car?
Now who's gonna give me some good news and
Who's gonna take it too far (come on let's take it too far)

(Come on let's take it too far)

(Come on let's take it too far)

(Come on let's take it too far)

(Come on let's take it too) some of us need to gather
And others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied
Who's gonna pay the bills?

Some of us need to gather (some of us need to gather)
Some of us need to kill (some of us need to gather)
Some of us need to gather (some of us need to gather)
Who's gonna pay the bills?
(Come on let's take it too far) who's gonna pay the bills?
(Come on let's take it too far)
Who's gonna pay?
(Come on let's take it too far) who's gonna pay the bills?
