[Verse 1: will.i.am]
Johnny wanna be a big star
Get on stage and play the guitar
Make a little money, buy a fancy car
Big old house and an alligator
Just to match with them alligator shoes
He's a rich man, so he's no longer singing the blues
He's singing songs about material things
And platinum rings and watches that go bling
But diamonds don't bling in the dark
He a star now, but he ain't singing it from the heart
Sooner or later, it's just gonna fall apart
'Cause his fans can't relate to his newfound art
He ain't doin' what he did from the start
And that's putting in some feeling and thought
He decided to live his life shallow
Cash in his love for material
And it's gone
[Chorus: Jack Johnson]
Gone going
Gone, everything gone, give a damn
Gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing
Gone people
Aw-awkward with their things, gone
Johnny wanna be a big star
Get on stage and play the guitar
Make a little money, buy a fancy car
Big old house and an alligator
Just to match with them alligator shoes
He's a rich man, so he's no longer singing the blues
He's singing songs about material things
And platinum rings and watches that go bling
But diamonds don't bling in the dark
He a star now, but he ain't singing it from the heart
Sooner or later, it's just gonna fall apart
'Cause his fans can't relate to his newfound art
He ain't doin' what he did from the start
And that's putting in some feeling and thought
He decided to live his life shallow
Cash in his love for material
And it's gone
[Chorus: Jack Johnson]
Gone going
Gone, everything gone, give a damn
Gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing
Gone people
Aw-awkward with their things, gone
