It gives me power the way it feels

Stab a goat?

Hold a little sheep

And slit its throat

Would you feed a pig a diet that includes

Euthanised pets

Which have been dried and ground and sold as

"Protein concentrates"?

Then slaughter it

And eat its guts

Then grind up whatever's left

for growing piglets?

CHORUS

This is you

I'm afraid it's true

Cos the men who do

They work for you

VERSE

Could you inseminate a cow?

In a very very painful way

Then 9 months later come back and

Take its baby away

Then drag that calf down 

Into your basement

And never ever let it

See light again

Chain it up 

So it can't sit down

Give it a diet of liquid food

So it lives with diarrhoea

I'm afraid it's true

Cos the men who do

They work for you

In the interests of economics

Or give them health complications

From a diet of animal antibiotics

Or have them absorb the emotions

Of an animal that lived in torture

And thoughts from the mind of the man

Who shot it through the head

CHORUS

But you do

I'm afraid it's true

If only they knew

The things they chew

This is you

It's all you

If only you knew

Well now you do

If he were in my shoes

He'd make a game of indoor croquet

Eat humus all day

C

Write a play or do cabaret

Bake a friend a birthday cake

C

And if it was terrible

Completely inedible

He'd say it doesn't matter anyway.

VERSE

But then I wake up next day

I need building up again

And Tom he isn't here to play

The Prison of Materialism

It's sewn into the news

It underwrites your views

Reinforced in school

Seeps into your every hole, 
But your nobody's fool?

Don’t buy the lie of materialism

 
VERSE

Who cares if I beat you

They feed upon your fear
Suck up all your feelings

Preaching the dualities
Physical realities
 
With-distorted-moralities-for-limited-mentalities
 
Contorted tonalities
Temporal modalities
Separate nationalities
For global criminalities

But it’s not an emotion
It’s a myriad of feelings that flow

Depends upon who’s leaving who
 
But really you know
There’s nowhere they go
They’re just here in a different way

Grief’s not an illness
We grieve cos we love
And we go through it time and again
 
You say the deeper the love
The deeper the mourning
But how are you honouring them?
 
They’re not the same
You’ll never be again
But be version 2.0
 
Happiness is fleeting
Wealth is deceiving
Fulfilment is what you should flow

In the lie-infested world in which we crawl

From what I've seen with my own eyes
A lie is always in disguise
My faith's built on solid base

The song is long while will is free
Life ends in a minor key

On which road do I go

Em                        C

I'll follow the right fork

That you cannot see. 

But all bring you home, 

like a river to the sea.

Draw me a picture

Leave a sandwich on the back porch
Tie a bow to the streetlight

Em                                   C
The Earth will be absorbed one day
Em                   G
Back into the sun
Em                        C
But Bobbie and Bernie
D                    G
Will remain as one

VERSE

When the cold weather's rising 

And the icy wind wakes

Washing all before it frozen 

All the skies and lakes 

With her back to the wind 

and her voice to the clouds

She found that her spirit 

Could soar above the ground

CHORUS

Oh Bernie
Come up and see me some time
I'm leaving notes for you everywhere
A penny and a dime

Oh Bobbie
Yeah I heard you moving last night
You've got to learn to keep it down
I'm getting up early to write

The end will come for everyone
The goldfish and the young
But Bobbie and Bernie
Are here for everyone

INSTRUMENTAL

MIDDLE
G
Send me dimes
Em
Send me pennies

C
Many signs
Em
Through the lives

You're still mine
You've sent me many
Where I go
All the time

BRIDGE

The end will come for everyone
The happy and the young
But Bobbie and Bernie
Are here for everyone

VERSE

Don't search for answers

Don't ask me why

Just tilt your head back

And laugh at the sky

Brighter

CHORUS (INSTRUMENTAL)

VERSE
C
You've told him of a childhood
F 
That no one would aspire to
C                                                 G
He says - "look at the strength it's given you"

Tales of misfortune
Catalogue of doom and gloom
Michael just smiles at you

BRIDGE
F
You're having the nightmares
G
You're writing them down
Em                                  Am
But all you can see is the storm

Am
But the best plays are the tragedies
Em
We get shown what we need to see
G
The moral is morality
F                        Am
You make your own reality
F                                   
But I'm afraid
G
With your frame of mind

CHORUS
(It's only gonna get) Darker
And darker
And darker
Darker than you remember
Wait until November

Mercury's in retro
Chaos from the get-go
Live it up - you reap what you sow

Neptune's in alignment
Saturn's feeling violent
Pluto's gonna tear you to shreds

La la la la la la

VERSE
Your scars clearly show
The world's been unfair to you
But only if you let it define you

If every experience
Gives you strength and resilience
Use it to help others in need

BRIDGE
You're having the nightmares
You're writing them down
But all you can see is the storm

And when you moan and when you curse
You write your play with every verse
The truth is cold may seem perverse
But burn it up live in reverse
Otherwise
I'm afraid

CHORUS
(It's only gonna get) Darker
And darker
And darker
And darker
Darker than you remember
Wait until November

Mercury's in retro
Chaos from the get-go
Live it up - you reap what you sow

Neptune's in alignment
Saturn's feeling violent
Pluto's gonna tear you to shreds

La la la la la la

CHORUS
Get over what your parents said
The voices inside your head
Only speak to people in the room

You'll get happiness you'll get health
If you're not focused on yourself
Just change your state of mind

And it'll get brighter
And brighter
And brighter

And brighter
Brighter if you're willing to serve

The crazier the world becomes
Suffering in everyone
The more chances to serve

Your world will get brighter
And brighter
And brighter

And brighter
Brighter if you're willing to serve

The Wonder of One

BPM 64

VERSE
G
Speeding through tunnels
Bm
To loved ones who've died
Em
Connecting with past lives
C                             D
And meeting with guides

Beautiful gardens
lands to behold
Fantastic palaces
Of crystal and gold

Floating in blackness
A velvet embrace
Heavenly music
Just drifting through space

BRIDGE
Am                            C              D
And wherever you go there's the light

CHORUS
C               Em
We are all one
G                     D
Children of the sun

We are all one
Going to back where it begun

The wonder of one
Quantum consciousness

We are all one
Making our progress

VERSE
Take on a form
Whatever you feel
Talk through telepathy
Everything is real

Travel in an instant
Across time and space
Without disabilities
You had in this place

Love it embraces
A physical thing
Lifting you free
Like the coil on a spring

BRIDGE + CHORUS

VERSE G Bm Em C D

BRIDGE Am C D

CHORUS C Em G D
 

MIDDLE
Am
There's no need to strive
Em
To be closer to spirit
G                                 D
Effort takes you further away

Silence is reality
Connect with the source
You're already all that you seek

BRIDGE + CHORUS

It'll all work out

BPM: 60

VERSE
G
Imagine a scene
Em
Where a very young child
C
Watches his mother
D
Give birth to his brother

Seeing the blood
hearing the screams
How traumatising
It could haunt him for years

BRIDGE
Em
It's hard to metabolise (TALKING)
C
All the things that we see
Em
And learn from the lessons
D
We need to receive

VERSE
While we watch all the chaos
Going on, on the Earth
Zoom out on these changes
And witness a birth

BRIDGE
The world she is changing
We must change too
Raise our vibrations
live up to this truth
And be brave brave brave
Then it will work out

CHORUS
It'll all work out
It'll all work out
It'll all work out
It'll all work out

CHORUS (Chords)
Fires in the Amazon
The trials of your son
Deaths of the loved ones 

The suffering of everyone, will work

CHORUS

It will work out

It will work out

It will work out

It will work out

OUTRO
Sins can't be forgiven
But learn from the lessons given
We'll come through this somehow
Pray for the power now

There are always reasons I know I have seen this
Help us to rise like the phoenix
One day we'll know what it's all about
I've faith that it will work out

ACT

BPM 113 

VERSE
F
Most of us live in a state of constant confusion
F
As automatic thoughts cause circuitous delusions
Bf
We don't want these feelings
F
So choose distractions

But with simple exercises, your mind can be taught
To watch the act of thinking without entangling in thoughts

Welcome emotions

Hold them to the light 

Bf                               C

Defuse your thoughts, choose how to react
Defuse your thoughts, choose how to react

VERSE
For a minute let your mind go wherever it wants
Then write down the thoughts you had, every little point
When you've let the fish run
Reel him in

Now disobey on purpose the dictator within
Write down the phrase "I cannot walk around this room"
Then read it outloud
While you walk around

Or give your mind a name, and listen to it speak
Politely as you would to any stranger you meet
And agree or disagree
Respectfully

Defuse your thoughts, choose how to react
Defuse your thoughts, choose how to react

MIDDLE (whispering and downbeat)
Bf 
For sticky thoughts
C
Sing them away
Dm
To the tune of
F
Happy Birthday

Or write them down
And carry them with you
Wherever you go
Through your day

Bf
Accept every memory, every faction
C
Override rigid reactions

WHISTLING VERSE

VERSE
So you've noticed now that there's more than one voice
An argument begins whenever you're faced with a choice
Does this to-and-fro
Feel familiar?

Write down what the voices are repeating at you
Don't think which are appropriate or even true
See them as quarrelling children
Watch in amusement

Now your mind's a bus, thoughts are passengers
But they're distracting your driving and causing a fuss
Keep your destination sign
Always in mind

Defuse your thoughts, choose how to react
Defuse your thoughts, choose how to react
Defuse your thoughts, choose how to react







Stop your problem-solving mind with defusion learning
Cos obsessive self-chatter is driven by the yearning
From some coherence
Between conflicting ideas

And with your mind, defuse thoughts away

VERSE



LONGER DRAFT:
VERSE
Most of us live in a state of mental confusion
With consistent criticism and circuitous delusions
We don't want these feelings
So choose distractions

But with some simple exercises, your mind can be taught
To watch the act of thinking without entangling in thoughts
Rise above the commands
The doubts and demands

And with your mind, defuse thoughts away

VERSE
Disobey on purpose the dictator within
To realise mind power is just an illusion
Think a limiting thought
And read it while you do it

I cannot sing this song
I cannot sing this song
I cannot sing this song
I cannot sing this song

With your mind, defuse thoughts away

BRIDGE
F                                G
Such a simple thing can do more than you've dreamt
Am                                                   G
Increasing pain tolerance by up to 40%
F
Remember thoughts are repetitive
G
So are easy to train
C
If you use the proper way
              F
your brain
G
Cos you'll end up low,
F                          G
If you let them run the show

VERSE
Next give your mind a name, and listen to it speak
Politely like you would to any stranger you meet
And agree or disagree
I call mine Gregory

Now Gregory's demanding with lots of opinions
And he always needs something, but I'm not his minion
Although I do appreciate him
And thank him for the advice
G
You have anything else to add Gregory?

With your mind, defuse thoughts away

Now a short mental break

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE (Whistling)

What a long song... but it needs to be longer

MIDDLE (whispering and downbeat)
C
Another technique...
F 
For sticky thoughts
G
Is to sing them away
Am
To the tune of
C
Happy Birthday

F
Or write them down
G
On a special piece of paper
Am
Carry them with you
F
like they're sacred
G
And look at them later

VERSE
But perhaps you've noticed that there's more than one voice
An argument whenever you're faced with a choice
Does this to-and-fro
Feel familiar?

Write down these voices while they're screaming at you
Don't think which are appropriate or even true
Watch them as quarrelling children
In mild-amusement

With your mind, defuse thoughts away

VERSE
Or picture your brain as if it were a bus
You are the driver - thoughts are passengers
But they're being distracting
Demanding diversions

So visualise the sign you've put on the front of your bus
Such as "Destination happiness via service to others"
You'll need presence of mind
You'll need it all the time

Then with your mind, defuse thoughts away
With your focus, defuse thoughts away
With attention, defuse thoughts away
