Jack Johnson
Ones and Zeros
[Verse 1]
There's a black hole pulling me in
I slowly bend 'til I see the back of my own sins
I stole my soul from myself, now I wonder
Wonder, is there somebody with a perfect plan
That goes boom when it's stamped and we could understand
How the gods of old used to clap their hands to make thunder
So we're clapping and we're laughing like it was so absurd
In the future we'll be laughing at who we were right now
As man plays god with the land that he plunders
To the one unknown no one can know nor see
That's resistant to greed, if we listen to
Time after time, time can never go under

[Chorus]
There's this vine trying to climb
Through the window into my life
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind
There's this wine trying to find
Its way from the bottle into my mind
In my mind, in my mind
In my mind

[Verse 2]
And so this vine is trying to climb through the window into my life
To bring me symmetry and memories of a back-lit breeze
Back into a dream on the ground, lookin' up at the sun coming down
Into a world of boys and girls are holding handheld devices
While they're eating and they're sleeping and they're dreaming of the prices
We'll be paying down the line, when the ice melts maybe it will turn to wine
And all the greatest of the heroes started jumping from the books
They started wearing ones and zeros, looking more and more like crooks
They stole the sunlight from the future, took a sip, drained half the glass, and put it back
And a lot of people like to have a feast, not so many could stomach the killing
Lot of traffic on the streets, so who's really doing all the drilling
Keep on filling what can never be full
My imagination has got a hold on me
[Chorus]
There's this vine trying to climb
Through the window into my life
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind
There's this wine trying to find
Its way from the bottle into my mind
In my mind, in my mind
In my mind
