ORIGINAL:

VERSE -  A F#m D E (spoken)

We could be living in paradise

Without war, hate, or money

Instead we made a prison

Outta materialism

But the way to freedom is simple

It's selfless service to others

Serve everyone you meet

In every way you can think of

But without love - service is work

So love everyone you meet

And live with joy in your heart

And climb out of the pit of ignorance

The Universal Law of the One and the Many

INTRO

From the One comes the Many and from the Many comes the One

Within the one is the potential for the many

And within the many, there is inherently the one.
In the subatomic world

In the astronomical world

And anywhere in between

Including all of human behaviour.

VERSE
In the Universe, expanding out

Forming super galaxy clusters 

that will contract, back into the one

On the Earth – In Geology

Tectonic plates make a continent

Then disintegrate back, into individuality

 
In Oceanology, equatorial heat rises 

And watery polar cool falls 

Circulating, and redistributing resources 

CHORUS
The more you force yourself to the many

The more nature forces you back to the one
Use... 

this knowledge  

Understand nature’s way, accept it and grow

VERSE

In the body – In Chemistry

Nucleophilic substitution or elimination

Many to one and one to many reactions

In Enzymology, enzymes catalyse 

Anabolic and catabolic reactions To build and 

destroy, to maintain metabolic equilibrium

In the nervous system, the parasympathetic anabolises 

And the sympathetic catabolises 

Autonomically, from one to many. 

CHORUS
Understand this Law 

Meet the needs of others 

Not just your own 

And you can make a vast difference

Change the entire  world 

OUTRO
When everything outside's a reflection of what's inside you

You... will have mastered your life 

You’ll have equity outside

Equanimity within

Be inspired by what you do

Become certain and present

And live 

With love 

And gratitude

VERSE

Take in the bigger picture

On whom you would protect

 

Input consequence

Roll out your precautions

Define application

Equal out distortion

CHORUS

MIDDLE (Whisper)

You can't be swayed by the headlines

Or the panic of the crowd

But be brave

Almost clinical

There is so much at stake

So many implications

Open the schools

Don't deprive the children

CHORUS

Wake up to Social Justice

VERSE

"The Master's house can't be dismantled

By using the Master's tools"
 
That's an anarchic fallacy

And will never set us free

If I get to say what you can say, democracy will end that way
Think reason and rationality

Instead of violent condemnation
Engage... in conversation

VERSE
We must not co-operate with tyranny
By claiming mass conspiracy

Speaking truth in the face of danger
Parrhesia will keep us free

Your way, uses the words I say, to take away my liberty
Freedom is a hard-won thing

Instead of aggressive condemnation
Engage... in conversation

VERSE
Only the Master's tools can dismantle 

Forever the Master's house

Freedom of speech must be defended
Even if we don't like what we hear 
 

If I get to say what you can say, democracy will end that way
Think reason and rationality

Instead of outward condemnation
Engage... in conversation

Keyholes to Open Borders

CHORUS

G                    Em              C         G

Build walls around the welfare state, not a border round the country

        Em                  C                          D                       G

These ideas may sound unfair but poverty's unfairer

C                                 D                G
Keyhole solutions to open borders

VERSE

G                       D                             C                               G
Immigrants took our jobs! took our jobs, took our jobs!
C                                    Em                       D                     G
Use apparatuses like taxes 

as practices to relax the natives 

by paying their taxes 

so their objection collapses

Immigrants only take, and they will break, the welfare state
For these purposes 

make access to services 

purchases 

so this encourages nurturers 

for surpluses

BRIDGE

What about having Blue cards -  as well as Green?

CHORUS            

VERSE
They don’t talk like us, they can't discuss, they can't adjust
To address this request I suggest a language test which selects the best that possess the necessary linguistic finesse

They've got bad ideas, they'll bring them here, these are our fears

Protect from the threat from the outset by vets for citizenship with a net to catch the criminal mindset

Restriction of movement has given us global apartheid

CHORUS (INSTRUMENTAL)

When your only tools a hammer, everything looks like a nail

G                    Em              C         G

America had open borders til 1924

        Em                  C                          D                       G

And got  the tired and poor, no none wanted anymore

D                   C                                D                G
It became the richest country in the whole wide world 

CHORUS

BRIDGE

They say stop immigration, cos they don’t understand causation

VERSE
Immigrants they bring crime, all the time, just by design
The data doesn’t back this up but check criminal records
  

They don’t know our culture, or our structure, they are vulgar

Stipulate local knowledge, and a  cultural exam

CHORUS
For many financial and social problems they say restrict immigration
They throw away the benefits cos they don’t understand causation
When your only tools a hammer, everything looks a nail

BRIDGE (Spoken)

These solutions may sound difficult, but they're already in action

Welfare to Work & delayed citizenship have already gained traction

What about Blue cards as well as Green?

 Restriction of movement is global apartheid

Once upon the shore

The fire grew anew

Feeding on Spring energies

As the earth came into bloom 

By horse and cart they travelled

Bringing light and food to all 

The plague-ravaged population

Came out to heed their call

CHORUS

When they reached the sacred centre there

With a small and solemn band 

The man looked long into the fire

Then buried it in the land

CHORUS

G                   A                      D

When your crops never stop growing

G                           A

Fill your glass to overflowing

D                       G

Drink a toast to Devas

            A                                D

And the man who brought the fire

Logotherapy

VERSE

 D                                 G

Will for power or will for pleasure

A                             D

Dragons you are chasing

Meaning is more powerful

Cos by the means you measure

BRIDGE

Bm                         A                  G                          D

Be it what your encounter, your actions or your deeds

Bm                         A                      G                          D

Welcome lessons as they come, don't try to feed your needs

CHORUS

Bm                         A

Things aren't always the way you see them

G     A                     D

Therapy from meaning

D

VERSE

Old man sad, old man crying

Cos his wife has gone

He loved her more than life itself

It's a tragedy her dying

BRIDGE

But what if he had died before? Think then of her pain

His suffering's the price he's paid to spare her all that strain

CHORUS

Things aren't always the way you see them

Therapy from meaning

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE

Sometimes high anxiety

Others low depression

Hard to keep track of the waves

Where are you in society?

BRIDGE

You've the freedom to choose response to any situation

And suffering's not suffering when you've signification

CHORUS

Things aren't always the way you see them

Therapy from meaning

The Flow (I Get In My Way)

VERSE 

C

I'm tuned into a frequency

Channelling some higher voice

Something that's not part of me

No need to make a choice

F             G

When I am in the flow

BRIDGE 

Am          G                  F

Ideas come like I'm pulling on a string

Words and pictures and everything

Perfectly formed with melody and swing 

             G          F        G             C

I'm picking up mind outside of me

MIDDLE

Am                               G

I wake up gently keep the water's still

Em                     F

Sliding out a dream

Slip into the gentle flow   

An unpolluted stream

I wish I could always be like this

Forever in the moment

No before and nothing after

All I have I own it

In peace I listen to the voices

Passing through my mouth

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE

C                                                  Am

Until my conscious mind starts to wake

F

And to crave

                        G

And end my bliss...

CHORUS

C     G    F    G

I get in my way x2

I'm a stubborn cow

Sat down in the road

A jack-knifed truck

That lost it's load

I'm leaves on the line

Snow on the tracks

The oncoming car

That won't turn back

    

I get in my way x2

I'm the screaming neighbours

And their barking dog

The crying baby           

And a squiling hog

I'm wind on the mic

Dirt on the lens

The ringing telephone

That's an annoying friend

I get in my way x2

          F                           G                 C

The thing that stops the flow is me I know

VERSE

I almost act unconsciously

When the air is still

Words roll out    so effortlessly

Morning pages need no skill

When I am in the flow

 

BRIDGE

Musn't think or question why

If I pause the flow will dry

It only works when I do not  try 

I'm picking up mind outside of me

The Universal Force

INTRO

Your highest visualisations will never come into existence

Unless you apply the 3rd degree of divine creative energy

Because this power is everything there is

Everything there ever has been

And everything there ever can be

This is the single, all pervasive force

All types of energy are different expressions of the one universal prana

VERSE

                 G

The power, that energises a sun 

Or a galaxy

                  C                            G

Is the same power that's inside your beating heart

The power, that brought everything into creation

And binds everything in existence

Is the same power that's inside your beating heart

The power, that exists in every world

In every living being

Is the same power that's inside your beating heart

CHORUS

                 Em          

Look inside

                              C

Harness this power

Em                           F#/D                G

Rise through cosmic consciousness become one with everything

VERSE

The life - that cannot be seen

That travels through all

Is the same life that's inside the heart of you

The wisdom - that's contained within a sun

Is behind all manifestation

Is the same wisdom that's inside the heart of you

The force - travelling through the galaxies from the creator itself

The most sacred of the sacred

Is the same force that's inside the heart of you

CHORUS

OUTRO

                Am           C           Em            

Finally, you'll walk as the simplest version of you

Am          C               Em

To decide your future

Am                                 

You'll reflect on this force

Em

The life power

C

And understand your records

              Am                       C                       Em

Then with clemency - travel - back into the flow

 

Beating Guns

Song about gun control. 105 people die every day in America from guns and there are mass shootings every week. Check out the website https://www.beatingguns.com/ These guys beat guns into garden tools. Make them hot in a furnace and then hammer them down.

I think we should keep this a percussion only track. So like this, but better. 

CHORUS

Beat swords into ploughs

Sow seeds of peace

Grow a world of hope

And be released

Bang bang goodbye

This gun's reborn

Transformed in the fire

No more we mourn

Oh oh oh

VERSE

I love my country, I love freedom

I'll stand up for my rights I know that I need them

But the constitution never   had guns or swords

Don't need no amendments to the words of the Lord

CHORUS

Beat guns into hammers

Melt bullets into nails

Build heaven on earth

Cos like this we fail

Fill your head with bravery

Make your heart sincere

Don't need to hold a gun

Once you let go of fear

Oh oh oh

VERSE

I beat by guns into garden tools

Gonna grow food for the hungry

If someone breaks into my house to steal

Gonna sit 'em down - cook 'em a meal

CHORUS

Hammer out hatred

Smelt down mistrust

Forge a new future

That's fair and just

Lock and load with love

Set your sights on harmony

Take a shot at solidarity 

Pull the trigger on peace

VERSE

My little boy went to school one day

He never came home

Don't pray for him

Don't pray for me

Pray for gun control

No more guns, please

CHORUS (minor)

Hammer out hatred

Smelt down mistrust

Forge a new future

That's fair and just

Lock and load with love

Set your sights on harmony

Take a shot at solidarity

Pull the trigger on peace

Blind and groping in the dark

VERSE

                       Bm               Em         F#m             Bm

There’s so much beauty here before me, but how little I perceive

     Em                   F#m           Em                   F#m

Of other realms existing here, I cannot conceive

Bm                      Em                     F#m             Bm

Between me and the mystics, the difference is stark

Bm                      Em                     F#m             Bm

I'm an involved creature, blind and groping in the dark

 

VERSE

While the psychics can see colours for which we have no names

Clairvoyance shows them devas flying, while they play fantastic games

They also see the difference 'tween them and me so stark

As I wallow in the filth, blind and groping in the dark

 

INSTRUMENTAL

Bm               Em         F#m             Bm x2

 

VERSE

My mind's an open book to them, if they were bored enough to read

While Psychometry can tell them more than you would dare believe

Or hear me talking miles away, saying some snide remark

While I cannot even hear the silence, blind and groping in the dark

 

MIDDLE

Em

What makes this so much harder

Bm

What grinds me finer still

Em

Is that I know that I could join them

F#m

If only I had the will

 

Bm

I've know the breaths and Mantras

Em

Worth more than any jewel

Bm

That you'd only learn in ages past

F#m

After years in Mystery Schools

 

But instead of listening to discourses that would blow your mind apart

I'm arguing with idiots, blind and groping in the dark

 

INSTRUMENTAL

 

VERSE

Yet inevitably one day I will turn back to the source

When the serpent stirs and starts to climb along Sushumna's course

On that day I'll ignite again, I am a divine spark

Until then I'm the ashes, blind and groping in the dark

My mama didn't raise no mouth breather

                                                   A

You look so poorly, cos you're mouth breather

E                       D       A

Who know so many side effects?

Now his chin is receding

And his face is too thin

So much he's got an overbite

At school he's no attention

Cos he don't sleep so good

Now they got him on Ritalin

CHORUS

After years of poor sleeping

A

Made worse by the drugs

Bm                D

He's failed academically

Now he's a labourer

Thinks he's a failure

He draws in a long breath

Then  let's out a deep sigh

"It's not cos I didn't try"             

If only then I had known why

CHORUS

 E                                A

Nobody saw I was a "Mouth Breather"

They could have warned me "Mouth Breather"

                                               D

They should have called me a "Mouth Breather"

I would have changed 

Now I've poor immunity "Mouth Breather"

Zero opportunity "Mouth Breather"

I lost my dreams "Mouth Breather"

But think of the children "Mouth Breather"

Save one of them "Mouth Breather"

Shout out to everyone "Mouth Breather"

The cycle must stop

In My Opinion

My opinion

Is what people pay me for

                        G

I don't think I know anymore

D                         A

Than you or anyone else

My opinion

Is for the gullible

I'm not culpable

Just an actor playing a part

BRIDGE

Em                                           A

I tell people what they want to hear

An affirmation of their own ideas

CHORUS

Em

And in a world of minions

G

Under dominion

A

You need strong opinions

D

Lightly held

VERSE

My opinion

Maybe overkill

But it pays my bills

Which is more than you can say for yours

My opinion

Brings in advertising

Which sells people other things

The secret cycle is shuddering

BRIDGE

I'm an illustrator that is all

The picture that I paint must be colourful

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL (BRIDGE & CHORUS)

MIDDLE

Em                                              Am

Can I be blamed for behaviour or refusal to think?

If someone pours you poison do you drink?

CHORUS

Desolenator

VERSE

C                                            F                   C

Water water everywhere but most not fit to drink

When most of the world is covered by water, d'ya ever stop to think?

Am   G    F        C                Am                 G        F

By 2030 half of humanity will struggle for a water source

C                                                   F                       C

Ironic that rising sea levels will only make it worse

A sustainable water supply

G

Poor people are walking miles every single day

For a few litres of stagnant water, disease and dysentery

Or living at the mercy of the tanker man, but change their lives we can

By purifying local water the power's in their hands

Think

CHORUS

CHORUS

MIDDLE (Same chords as middle part of Verse)

You want water that's pure and clean, so you buy it in bottles

But it's absorbed the biphenyls and other cruel potentials

G

VERSE

You pay more for bottled water, and so does the earth

10 million joules of fossil fuels go into every litre

Compare this to your tap water that's 2000 times cheaper

Are you one of the enlightened one, who know the price is steeper?

Think
