Jack Johnson "It's All Understood" & Ocean Sunset

LYRICS: Everyone laughed at her joke
As if they'd never even heard it before
And maybe they were truly amused
But every word that she spoke was a bore
And maybe it's because they had seen
The previews on the TV screen
Well this part is good and that's well understood
So you should laugh if you know what I mean

But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
Then it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe

Everyone knows what went down
Because the news was spread all over town
And fact is only what you believe
And fact and fiction work as a team
It's almost always fiction in the end
That content begins to bend
When context is never the same

And it's all relative
Even if we don't understand
And it's all understood
Especially when we don't understand
Then it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe

I was reading a book
Or maybe it was a magazine
Suggestions on where to place faith
Suggestions on what to believe
But I read somewhere
That you've got to beware
You can't believe anything you read
But the good Book is good
And it's all understood
So don't even question
If you know what I mean

But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
And it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe

But there you go once again
You missed the point and then you point
Your fingers at me
And say that I said not to believe
I believe
I guess
I guess it's all relative

Jack Johnson, it's all understood, Brushfire Fairytales.

HOLY CRAP!!! What a powerhouse of a song. The lyrics ring so true.

To me, what really makes this song are the last few lines: "There you go, once again, you missed the point, and then you turn your fingers at me, and say that I said not to believe. I believe."

He's criticizing *blind* faith.

@nudankcity No it is telling you not to let society decide everything for you

I think Jack Johnson just has a really great understanding of life. I am so grateful for his music!

Is this song a knock on the bible? That's how I've always perceived it. The second verse he talks about how context gets swapped around when it goes from person to person. Then he refers to the "good book" in his "suggestions on where to place faith" "don't believe everything you read" "BUT! the good book is good and that's well understood, so don't even question if you know what i mean" <---refer to the refrain? "I believe".....I guess it's all relative.
