Staple It Back Together Songtext
von 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 he took
From the faces that he knew 'cause he forgot to look

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, mm-mmh

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

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, mhmm

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 he took
From the faces that he knew 'cause he forgot to look

You 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


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-mmh
