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

BRIDGE
F#m
Act now to build a new world
A
By putting love in action
D                                 E
Go on your way and joy in your heart SERVE

CHORUS -  A F#m D E

The heart of religion is to SERVE
The most glorious yoga to SERVE
To practice love you need to SERVE

So set aside your vanity SERVE
Devote yourself to humanity SERVE
With every muscle and sinew SERVE
Let the Kundalini rise within you

VERSE (spoken)
No more monasteries
No meditating in the wilderness
No retreats into serenity
Wake up to your destiny

And in a world of suffering
Even idleness is criminal
Entertainment must be minimal
Time is of the essence 

BRIDGE
Cos we have been ordered
To turn from our own feelings 
And search no more, simply SERVE

CHORUS
Forget your own petty worries SERVE
Transmute selfishness SERVE
Sacrifice your own bliss SERVE
Discover greater happiness SERVE

Lift the low and heal the sick SERVE
Change the world and all that's in it SERVE
Even serve your enemy SERVE
For better health and energy SERVE

In will pour the inspiration SERVE
Service is the culmination SERVE
Come out of suffering SERVE
Receive truth and everything SERVE

BRIDGE
It doesn't matter whether you want to
It doesn't matter if you believe
If you don't today
You will tomorrow
Accept it - and serve


It doesn't matter if you believe it
It doesn't matter if you want it
If you don't today
You will tomorrow
Accept it - and serve

I drink to cope, I drink to cleanse
C                  Am     F             C
I drink I drink I drink though I know where it ends

I drink routinely, I drink out of habit

In  mundane social situations

I drink for peers, I drink to belong
I drink I drink I drink though I know that it's wrong

CHORUS F# C# G# C#
F                 C
I need to acknowledge
G              C
That I am afraid

What happens afterwards?
What must I trade?

I need to set a goal
Have something to attain

And I need new habits
To maintain the gains

VERSE
I drink to dull, I drink to distort
I drink to silence repetitive thoughts

I drink with purpose, I drink to purge
I drink I drink I drink whenever I've the urge

CHORUS
I need to acknowledge
That I am afraid

What happens afterwards?
What must I trade?

I need to set a goal

The self-loathing that I feel inside

From stress and anxiety

CHORUS

That I am afraid

What happens afterwards?
What must I trade?

I need to set a goal
Have something to attain

And I need new habits

I drink for approval, and validation
To overcome feelings of deep-held frustration

I drink for friends, I drink to fit in
So I can feel confident in the presence of women

I drink to be popular, I drink to be funny
So I can feel relaxed in other people's company

I drink to celebrate, I drink when its practical
I drink in every situation imaginable

The Numbers Game

 VERSE
D
Statistics, get twisted
What kind of life are we living?
Bm           A           D                
Our world is data-driven

Correlation's not causation
The truth is often hidden
My world is data-driven

BRIDGE C D - G  F#/D Em - C D
G                                            A
Got no destination. Distracted by the stations
D                       A                Bm                
Money and crap and those complications
G     A
Still I try, and I I I I

CHORUS G Em C D
D
Got down, but don't know how to do this
Bm
Oh no, gotta hit the digits
G
I eat I sleep I feel
A
I'm living my life, flat out running, running on the running wheel

God knows, I do not to want to do this
All work, however I'll come through this
For life, for family, for pleasure
For now and on and on forever

OUTRO Em C D Em - C D G
Bm                   G
Every time the same
 A                    Bm
Why do I even play?
G                         A              D
I'm losing at the numbers game

VERSE
Bad sampling. Wrong baseline.
Mistakes are not forgiven
When your world is data-driven

Cos of bias, interpretation 
I can't connect or make decisions
When the world is data-driven

BRIDGE
Got no destination. Distracted by the stations        
Money and crap and all those complications
Still I try, and I I I I

CHORUS 
Got down, but don't know how to do this
Oh no,       gotta hit the digits
I eat I sleep I feel
I'm living my life, flat out running, running on the running wheel

God knows, I do not to want to do this
All work, however I'll come through this
For life, for family, for pleasure
For now and on and on forever

Every time the same
Why do I even play?
I'm losing at the numbers game


MIDDLE C Em F#/D G
G                         Bm           A           D            
Gotta think to the future, look a long way deeper
G                         Bm           A                Bm            
Need to ask what my values are, focus as a seeker

G        A       [Stop]       D
On who am I. And why?

The Moloch Trap

VERSE
G
How on earth will we survive?
Em
Nature's worth more dead than alive
C
It's a race to cut down the trees
D
Before somebody else does

BRIDGE
   C                           D
Where are our brains and imagination?
 G                 D/F#        Em
Smokestacks pumping out damnation
                                           C
There's no way to prevent this
                 D
Cos we have...

CHORUS
                     G
Perverse incentives
                     Em
To sacrifice values
                      C
Be more competitive
                        D
Racing to the bottom

How can we stop them?
Without co-operation
The tragedy of the commons
Unnecessary sadness

Multipolar madness
Walking to the Moloch Trap
How do we turn?
How do we turn?

And break the cycle
Not fulfill
The prediction
Of human extinction

VERSE
Wars are good for the economy
Pollution boosts our GDP
Its nuclear weapons or risk destruction
AIs now an arms race

BRIDGE
What's good for others, is good because
It's long term good for all of us
Where are the glad and wise?
Instead, we have...

CHORUS

OUTRO
Do you mourn for Maldek?
Have fury at Lemuria?
And the conflicts of Atlantis?
Do you reminisce?

Free will vs Freedom
Within the law of karma
The madness of this 
Moloch drama

Are we gonna rise up?
Are we going to stand?
Or are we going to fall?
Are we going to fail?






JUST LYRICS:

Suboptimisation
Our collective failure

Multipolar madness
Walking to the Moloch Trap
How do we turn?
How do we turn?

And break the cycle
Not fulfil, and fall into
The inevitable prediction
Human extinction

Antibiotics boost food production
Help dramatically with illness reduction
But resistant bacteria
Are more than hysteria

Fossil fuels make cheap energy
And a few people very rich
But eventually, we all pay for it
Even if we never used it

What's good for all, is good because
It's long term good for all of us
Where are the glad and wise?

Hasnevitable conclusion
The madness of this Moloch drama

Are we gonna rise up?
Are hide?
Are we going to fail?
Are we going to fall?

Are we going to stand up?
Are fight?
Not be gonna be the ones?
Who walk into the night

The Healer

CHORUS
Am
Step aside for the healer
Comin' through
Higher energy
Flowing through you

Dm
Sendin' out the light
Pushin' out the love
E                       E7
Pullin' from above   

CHORUS
Here comes the healer
An average man
Doing somethin'
That anyone can

An instrument of healing
Working for the one
Directly for  the sun

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS
Give it up for the healer
Flowin'  through you
Visualising action
With a mind and a mudra

Pulling down prana
The transfer of
Directing it with love

CHORUS
Stand back for the healer
Let the power come through
Realisation is something
You can do

Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
The change has begun

INSTRUMENTAL x2

MIDDLE
Am                       E
Lift up to a higher level
Dm                     E
Send the power out

Confident that your healing
Will work without a doubt

Harnessing  invisible force
It's extra sensory

Visualise it going
As far as you can see
It's not imaginary

CHORUS
Step aside for the healer
He's coming through
Higher energy
Flowing through you

Sending out the light
Pushing out the love
Sent down from above

CHORUS
Here comes the healer
An average man
Doing something
That anyone can

An instrument of healing
Working for the one
Pulling from the sun




VERSE
Am
We're here to learn, we're to serve
Em 
It's not about judgement or what you think they deserve

Pranic correction, not karmic deflection
The energy flows and you're just an intersection

No attachment, to the outcome
You're part of the one, the bigger sum
 
Dm                                  
Fighting back the night, Channeling the light
E7
Making it alright


Bicycle Ride

CHORUS
C                                        F
I wanna take you for a ride on my bicycle 
On my bike, on my bike, ‘cause it’s all I got

I wanna take you for a ride on my bicycle 
‘cause it’s all I got

VERSE
No I ain’t got a car
Can’t take you that far 
But I know we’ll have a good time 

So jump on the back 
Of my bicycle rack 
And together we can fly 

CHORUS
I wanna take you for a ride on my bicycle 
On my bike, on my bike, ‘cause it’s all I got

I wanna take you for a ride on my bicycle 
‘cause it’s all I got

VERSE
 We'll see such wonderful things 
Just you and me 
Through the stars you’ll see my name?

Some dust on your skin 
Wash it in off in the ocean 
And you’ll never be bored again

I wanna take you for a ride on my bicycle 
On my bike, on my bike, ‘cause it’s all I got

I wanna take you for a ride on my bicycle

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
