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

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

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

         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

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

Building a breadcrumb trail, away from reality

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

To join the dots and build the pictures

leading you and deceiving you

Seeing what you want to believe in

Crumbs are easy to swallow, but will lead you astray

Don't believe all you see, on the message boards

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

You Know They Lie

Don't say a word
You know they lie
The system is blurred
And so we fight
So don't say a word
You know they lie

They pulled it out of you
A story with no truth
over your head
They get up in your face
Tell you you'll be safe
If you say what they said

Don't say a word
You know they lie
The family get hurt
And so we fight

No shred of evidence
Victim of circumstance
Put you away
How do they sleep at night
Knowing it's not right
They know that they made you say

Don't say a word
You know they lie
Their power is earned
And so we fight
No alibi so they say what they like
Confuse, distort and deceive
See it's the law using their last straw
Tell me who they gonna believe

Don't say a  word
You know they lie
What have we learned
You know they lie
Just like a bad dream
You know they lie

Millions have seen
You know they lie
A life locked away
You know they lie

We hope and we pray

If I listened to you and you listened to me

Wake up to the real truth

Your dark matter, matters more

Think about what you do

Use it as a tool

F                                          G

Well stand up with light in your heart

CHORUS

C                            Am                         Em                     G

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - And you need a revolution

Screaming for a storm rage and a war - trying to tear down institutions 

Preaching hate, liberate, anger bait nothing more - we're in need of resolution

You're acting like it's 1984

VERSE

An eye for an eye

Makes the whole world blind

With peace in your actions

There's peace in your mind

BRIDGE

If you want to drive out the dark

F                                          G

Well stand up with light in your heart

CHORUS

MIDDLE

In the cacophony, I hear a single melody

So would you come along and sing this song with me? 

We can use harmonies to sing of what we dream this little world could be

You can be mad, you can be angry 

In this time where words are feeling so unheard

We write songs about our worries 

Sing out loud to share our stories 

In the hopes that someone near or far can hear our words and feel them in their heart

OUTRO

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - You want to tear down institutions

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - You want fight for dissolution

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - You want to dish out retribution

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - You're demanding prosecutions

LYRICS

To those who call for uprising

And bloodshed to begin

Who holler that the system 

must be torn down from within

If you want to drive out the dark

Well stand up with light in your heart

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - And you need a revolution

Screaming for a storm rage and a war - trying to tear down institutions 

Preaching hate, liberate, anger bait nothing more - we're in need of resolution

You're acting like it's 1984

An eye for an eye

Makes the whole world blind

With peace in your actions

There's peace in your mind

If you want to drive out the dark

Well stand up with light in your heart

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - And you need a revolution

Screaming for a storm rage and a war - trying to tear down institutions 

Preaching hate, liberate, anger bait nothing more - we're in need of resolution

You're acting like it's 1984

In the cacophony, I hear a single melody

So would you come along and sing this song with me?

You can be mad, you can be angry 

In this time where words are feeling so unheard

We write songs about our worries 

Sing out loud to share our stories 

In the hopes that someone near or far can hear our words and feel them in their heart

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - And you need a revolution

Screaming for a storm rage and a war - trying to tear down institutions 

Preaching hate, liberate, anger bait nothing more - we're in need of resolution

You're acting like it's 1984

We don't know what we don't know

VERSE

                   Bm       

After so many years

                     Em

Of searching science

                               C

Countless experiments 

                                     G

And breaking down of elements

Of contradictory theories 

And fantastic formulas

Endless equations

To get to the truth

BRIDGE

Em

The only thing

                     C

That we can confidently say

D/F#

Throughout the ages.... is that

CHORUS

                         G

We don't really know what we don't know

                        D

We can't even say what we can't see

                            C

We've found known unknowns, And experiments have shown

                                   D

Enough to prove that it is what it is

And we can't conceive of new realities

Or visualise a fraction of what might be

Our imagination, fails at application

When we think of new possibilities

VERSE

So much of nature

Is still conjecture

And every new answer

Asks a hundred other questions

BRIDGE

Once everything's disproved

The one thing that's left

The unchanging reality... is that

CHORUS

MIDDLE

Am

How did this something

C

Come from nothing

Em

What forced its becoming

G

Well different types of nothing

Science is moving

Perpetually improving

Examining and removing

D/F#

Until we have one unifying thing... and it's that

CHORUS

The More Beautiful World

Capo 4th / 68 BPM

VERSE

C

We're in the world

Am

And overwhelmed

C

While we're divided

G

We are compelled

Even though small 

And all estranged

We are ambassadors

Agents of change

CHORUS

F                               C

The more beautiful world

      G                        C

Our hearts already know

Is only possible

If we unravel ourselves

Surrender the order

Embrace chaos and grow

F                   G            C

All we gotta do is let go

VERSE

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

CHORUS

The more beautiful world

Our hearts already know

Is only possible

If we unravel ourselves

Surrender the order

Embrace chaos and grow

All we gotta do is let go

MIDDLE

Am

Hope and distress

C

Consciousness

F 

Despair and strain

G

Pleasure and pain

CHORUS

The more beautiful world

Our hearts already know

Is only possible

If we unravel ourselves

Surrender the order

Embrace chaos and grow

All we gotta do is let go

The Violent Flame

VERSE

G 

The holiest being

                          C

That you'll ever meet

Is right there below you

Under your feet

She hides the beauty of her true light

Under material form

To render to us sustenance

Until we return

BRIDGE

                         C                      Em              

But we don't honour her name

       C               Em     

We defile and defame

             C                         D

And involve ourselves over again

CHORUS

G                               C

Bring up the violet flame

G                                 C

Transmute the dross in this frame

        G

While we scar her body

         Em

And we cause her pain

       C                    D          G

Still she gives her violet flame

VERSE

Blessed is this Goddess

Who gave us refuge 

Instead of accepting unlimited gowns

She refused

So that we can gain experience

On our way back to God

she has not yet demanded

That we change or leave

BRIDGE

But we don't honour her name 

We defile and defame

And involve ourselves over again

CHORUS

Bring up the violet flame

Transmute the dross in this frame

While we scar her body

And we cause her pain

Still she gives her violet flame

So bring up the violet flame

protection of power retained

She gives this willingly

Without a claim

Love it is a violet flame

MIDDLE

Bm                                 G 

How can she suffer so much?

Em                       Bm

Silent in solemn sacrifice

While we dam her arteries

And cut chunks out of her flesh

Commit foul acts against this angel

The very being that sustains us

BRIDGE

When her seeking children ask her 

Still she gives her flame of transmutation

CHORUS

Bring up the violet flame

Transmute the dross in this frame

While we scar her body

And we cause her pain

Still she gives her violet flame

So bring up the violet flame

protection of power retained

She gives this willingly

Without a claim

Love it is a violet flame

Civilised To Death

VERSE

Am

You've got emergency surgery and antibiotics

Am/B

Half your work done by a team of robotics

Am/F#

Still you've confessed

You're depressed

And distressed

and oppressed  

What's the matter with you?

You can travel through the sky sitting down in a chair

Get a drink, eat a meal and there's wifi up there

But at the slightest delay 

You complain

Like it's the end of the world

CHORUS

F                             Am

So why aren't you happy now?

F                             Am

Why aren't you in awe 

                    Am/F#          Am      

You've been civilised to death

VERSE

You've got your mother in a home, kids at childcare

You're working 7 days a week just to keep them there

You've been promised all your free time

When you're retired

You're the pyre for the fire of incessant growth 

Where any movement's advancement or progress or both

Youe’re like a falling man 

Who insists he’s flying 

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Am                                            F

How much time still to put in?

Am/B                              Am/F#

Can't be long 'til you're retiring

F

Scratching on the walls until your time is up 

G

One last sup at the poisoned cup

OUTRO

C

Take me back

Am

To the simple life

F

When we surrendered

G

To being alive

We lived by the ocean

And drank from the stream

In a world of abundance

Our lives were a dream

We had all we needed

Happy in our tribe

Surrounded by beauty

That you can't describe

The trees gave us everything

We worshipped the sun

Nature was all

And we were as one
