Vipassana

VERSE

G

Breathing a lot lately

Em

Nothing else to do

Am

Except the constant mental chatter

D

The troubles I’ve been listening too

I went there for my problems

Thinking they were bad

But it turns out I’ve problems

I didn’t even know I had

CHORUS

Am             D

On a Vipassana

   Am                         D

You find out who you are

VERSE

I thought I'd find a breakthrough

Get some peace at last

I think I found the way to get there

But it’s anything but fast

I’ve got to keep putting in the hours

Keep it in mind every day

I know it’s always with me

It’s my mind that drifts away

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

MIDDLE
Am
Yearning and burning, and seething with lust
D
Never learning the lessons we must

Am
Not believing as lies what we see with our eyes
D
We run to or run from all things

OUTRO
                                  G
We've built a culture of craving
                                       C
Where we want what we see
                       Am
On the net and TV
                                               D
And convince ourselves that this will make us feel happy

Inside our culture of craving
Thinking everyone else is
Happy in themselves
And somehow we should do the things that they do

We fuel the culture of craving
   Am
If we had what they had
       D
It wouldn't be so bad
   Am                              D
We could find peace in ourselves
