Intro
F#m
Yo, yup
F#m
Thanks for stoppin' in
Bm
This ain't no pop, no Mary Poppins , not a synonym
A
Ah Jr. Gong and Joss Stone the modern day Janis Joplin
C#9
Come to tell you what is happenin'
F#m
If you've been tuning in
Bm
I'm assuming that you're unsatisfied unless
you don't know the root of the music
A
From the beginning
C#9
In this modern day test tube factory that we're livin' in
verse 1
C#m
What is this nonsense I can't hear through?
This combination of money and fools
Bm
It's abominable
Uncontrollable
C#m
Remember the stage where the flower child rules
and music was true so the people could choose
Bm
then the suits took control
Promote a new low
Pre-Chorus
C#m Bm
My life is a soundtrack to a beautiful movement
C#m Bm
Composed to get closer to a revolution
What are you doing?
F#m
Wake up
Bm
Tell me what is this nonsense
A
Why can't we be conscious?
C#
Of what we're feeding our people
F#m
Wake up
Bm
Tell me what is this nonsense
A
You killed the conscious
C#
With your deliberate evil
verse 2
C#m
What is this shit now we're forced to sit?
The greenery gone and our soul got split
Bm
It's incredulous
How your lyrics got prejudice
C#m
Cast your mind back to the soul out flick
When a couple of strings and a mic was it
Bm
It's a fashion-less show
Unbelievable
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
C#m
(First they take your mind)
Ambiguous and subliminal
Bm
What does singing have to do with my abdominals?
Better read the fine print in your peripherals
C#m
(Then they take your soul)
Bm
Him and me lawyer come pen pals, suddenly I hear
funny signals
What a sneaky set of individuals
C#m
(And just before you know)
You can't see no residuals
Bm
And those who say they have your back
you take it out a straight attack
and sell out for decimals
C#m
(The whole of you is owned by
Somebody else, your screamin' for help
Bm
So shake up yourself, the call is comin' through)
Some truth from me to you
Chorus
Outro
F#m Bm
What's this nonsense
A
Can't we be conscious?
C#
Of what we're feeding our, what we're feeding our
F#m Bm
What's this nonsense
A
Can't we be conscious?
C#
Can't we be, can't we be?
F#m Bm
Now wake up, wake up
A
All my people now wake up
C#
Wake up for me, wake up for me people
F#m Bm
Wake up, wake up
A
Wake up, wake up
C#
You got to be conscious
