A Change is Coming

CHORD riff: F C Bf C 

VERSE
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution
Was meant to free slaves from persecution

Gave equal rights and protection to all
But what's that Equal Protection Clause?

Now corporations have the same rights as me
But they don't breathe, why do they need liberty?

BRIDGE
Especially when you see they have
The psychology of a psychopath 

CHORUS
I feel a change is coming
The people have had enough

I feel a change is coming
It's time that we call their bluff

F      Bf              C                 Bf
We know what we're fighting for
                      C                       F
We want to rewrite corporate law

VERSE
These psychopaths have built the modern world we live in

With their parasitic lifestyle and irresponsibility

Seeking stimulation and acting with basic impulsivity

Showing no guilt, and no remorse and zero empathy

Completely shallow and never accepting responsibility

And they sure do have a high developed sense of self-worth

I'm surprise they don't boast of having a virgin birth

CHORUS
I feel a change is coming
The people have had enough

I feel a change is coming
It's time that we call their bluff

F      Bf              C                 Bf
We know what we're fighting for
                      C                       F
We want to rewrite corporate law

MIDDLE 
But they're so charming and highly intelligent
Such a shame they have an incapacity for love

They'll lie straight to your face and show manipulative behavior,
Persistent violation of social norms

... we made a monster

CHORUS
I feel a change is coming
The people have had enough

I feel a change is coming
It's time that we call their bluff

F      Bf              C                 Bf
We know what we're fighting for
                      C                       F
We want to rewrite corporate law

I feel a change is coming
The people have had enough

I feel a change is coming
It's time that we call their bluff

F      Bf              C                 Bf
We know what we're fighting for
                      C                       F
We want to rewrite corporate law



LYRICS:

A Change is Coming

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution
Was meant to free slaves from persecution

But corporations shouted hey we're persons too
We want the constitution's rights for all we do

And now they have the same rights as me
But they don't eat they don't breathe, why do they need liberty?

Especially when you see they have
The psychology of a psychopath, oh boy

I see a change is coming
The people have had enough

I see a change is coming
It's time that we call their bluff

We know what the fight will be
We gotta reclaim democracy, hey yeah
Reclaim democracy

These psychopaths have built a toxic world
They feel no guilt, remorse zero empathy, no no

Because climate change, social inequality
Destroyed the earth corrupt democracy, mmm mmm

And too high a sense of their own self-worth
I'm surprised they don't boast of having a virgin birth, yea yeah

I feel a change is coming
The people have had enough

I feel a change is coming
It's time that we call their bluff

You know what the fight will be
We gotta reclaim democracy, hey yeah
Reclaim democracy

Create the world we want to see
Reclaim democracy 
We know what the fight will be

Reclaim democracy
Reclaim democracy
Reclaim democracy
Democracy yeah
Reclaim democracy
Democracy

How I Stopped Worrying About What Other People Think Of Me

VERSE
D
I used to be the kind of girl
                                                 A
Who wouldn't go out without makeup

I lived my life for pictures
On Instagram and Facebook

        G                         D
And I, I made myself sick

BRIDGE
           G
Until I stopped worrying
      D
About the bad days

Stopped worrying
what the comments say

   G
I stopped worrying 
         A                                        D    A            
What other people think about me

CHORUS
D                       G
Now I'm happy
   Bm                                A
This one thought set me free

Now I'm happy
At last I'm true to me

Yes I'm happy
Without worrying about what other people think

VERSE
It's like a superpower
My philosophy's my mission

Nobody can hurt me 
Without my permission

And I don't make myself sick

MIDDLE
Bm A G D

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Between the worlds

Capo 7th (Key G)

VERSE
C
Straight, While you watch and curate
Consume or create
F
Allowing eternity to enter

Free, like the sway of a tree
You shrug in its lee
This is the stillness that was never still

BRIDGE
Am            F               G
Silently dreaming together

CHORUS
C                                        Am
Bright light, cutting our night sight
                       F
Guiding our inflight
                                G
To a new polarity

Big screen informing our dreams
Living our slow scenes
riding through realities 

F
Between the light 
G
Between the dark
                    C
Between the worlds

VERSE
Right, A disguised fight
Machine guns of light
Doing the maths up to infinity

Apart, The flickering art
Somewhere smart
This is the magic of the cinema 

BRIDGE
Silently dreaming together

CHORUS
Bright light, cutting our night sight
Guiding our inflight
To a new polarity

Big screen informing our dreams
Living our slow scenes
riding through realities 

Between the light 
Between the dark
Between the worlds

MIDDLE
Am
And we are
Em
The negative
F
Exposed to
C
A positive

The principles
Of photography
Rise us up
G
And set us free

CHORUS
Bright light, cutting our night sight
Guiding our inflight
To a new polarity

Big screen informing our dreams
Living our slow scenes
riding through realities 

Between the light 
Between the dark
Between the worlds


LYRICS:

Unravel

 We're in the world
And overwhelmed
While we're divided
We are compelled

Even though small
And all estranged
We are ambassadors
Agents of change

I want
I wanna unravel
There’s something deeper in my being
There must be something more than just breathing

While we ourselves
See us apart
Our actions will be flawed
Wrong head, wrong heart

You show me cause
I see effect
Separateness
Road to neglect

I want
I wanna unravel
There’s something deeper in my being
There must be something more than just breathing

To die
And to multiply
My self-interest
My capital
My persistence to my ignorance

We die
And we multiply
Our self-interest
Our capital
Our persistence to our ignorance

There must be something more than this


A Girl Called Corona

There’s a girl called Corona, and she lives in a lab
She would like you to come on over
But don’t go if you’re fat

There’s a girl called Corona, and she yearned to be free
Go ahead Mr See Ji Ping said
You can do as you please

All of my life I dreamed of Corona
All of those years, I knew that one day she’d come

No need to work when I’m with Corona
Money for free, a time to chill and have fun

There’s a girl called Corona, and she’s only 19
Just a touch is enough to kill you
Better keep yourself clean

All of my life I dreamed of Corona
All of those years, I knew that one day she’d come

No need to work when I’m with Corona
Money for free, a time to chill and have fun

All of my life I dreamed of Corona
All of those years, I knew that one day she’d come

No need to work when I’m with Corona
Money for free, a time to chill in the sun

Apophenia

Capo 4th

VERSE
G                                           F#        Em             F#
In unrelated things, you perceive a commonality
Building a breadcrumb trail, away from reality

BRIDGE
Am    Em     
The players create it
G           F#
All looking to spot 
 
The journey is  the point
There's no bigger plot

CHORUS
G                        Em
Apophenia is leading you
C                                          D
To join the dots and build the pictures

Seems there are some scenes for you
Interpretations of the scriptures

leading you and deceiving you
Seeing what you want to believe in

VERSE
The correct answers are the ones, that resonate with most
That boost the groups objectives, they get the most kudos

BRIDGE
The longer you play
The greater your role

The further we all go
Down the white rabbit hole

CHORUS
Apophenia is leading you
To join the dots and build the pictures

Seems there are some scenes for you
Interpretations of the scriptures

leading you and deceiving you
Seeing what you want to believe in

INSTRUMENTAL x2 verse

MIDDLE
Em                            F#               G           
The stage must be set, for a new reality
Crumbs are easy to swallow, but will lead you astray

IF you fall in with the rest, following the hordes
      Em               C                        D
Don't believe all you see, on the message boards

CHORUS
Apophenia is leading you
To join the dots and build the pictures

Seems there are some scenes for you
Interpretations of the scriptures

leading you and deceiving you
Seeing what you want to believe in

Bravery

Key C# 
Capo 1st

VERSE 
                      C                                      F      
We're all taught, an outlook based on fear
                      C                             G      
We are caught, in bondage of our making

BRIDGE
     F                                      C      
Study fear coldly without emotion
     F                      C                    G
See it for what it is - a state of mind

CHORUS
C
Walk towards - what you're afraid of
G
Show the world - what you are made of
F
Break away, clearly see
                G               C
That bravery, it's freedom

VERSE
We have allowed, negativity 
We have imprisoned, our psychic abilities

BRIDGE
But with knowledge and enlightenment
Burn fear in the light of your new dawn

CHORUS
Walk towards - what you're afraid of
Show the world - what you are made of
Break away, clearly see
That bravery, it's freedom

MIDDLE
Am
We all made this
G
We denied bliss
F                                    C
That's why we are all suffering

But transmute fear
Apply knowledge
Tempered by love
G
Become wise....

CHORUS
Walk towards - what you're afraid of
Show the world - what you are made of
Break away, clearly see
That bravery, it's freedom

Kudzu from heaven

VERSE
The sickness came in and killed off the pine
I got my lumber at the Walmart for $2.99
The river dried up and push turned to shove
Now we’re choking on the kudzu from heaven above

CHORUS
What can one man do
To stop the invasion from spreading around you
What can one man say
To stop the darkness from winning the day
What can one man do
To stop the invasion from spreading around you
What can one man say
To keep our good nature from fading away

VERSE
I don’t wanna talk to strangers, I want to be with my friends
You tell me it’s the beginning when it feels like the end
I fell asleep in Tullahoma and when I opened up my eyes
It was a town like any other that I didn’t recognize

CHORUS
What can one man do
To stop the invasion from spreading around you
What can one man say
To stop the darkness from winning the day
What can one man do
To stop the invasion from spreading around you
What can one man say
To keep our good nature from fading away

BRIDGE
I can fight
I can walk
I can talk
And I can listen

I can teach
I can learn
I can laugh
I can cry

OUTRO
What can one man do?
What can one man do?
What can one man do?
What can one man do?
