[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?
[Chorus]
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
