Don’t know if the words will come
Don’t know if the chords will come
Take a little magic
Pray it won’t be static
Words and chords, Oh, Lord
Where do the words come from
Where will the chords come from
With some help from above
To the rhythm of love
Words and chords, Oh, Lord
Thank God the words come
Thank God the chords come
She took a little magic
And, it wasn’t static
Words and chords, Oh, Lord

Verse:
G D
I won't take all that they hand me down,

And make out a smile, so I'll wear a frown,

And I'm not gonna take it all lying down,
Am Em
'Cause once I get started I go to town.
Chorus:
Em D
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
Am Em
I'm not like everybody else,

LYRICS
I’m living a dream
One with a light beam
When sleeping I’m dreaming
That I’m living
A dream
When awake I don’t forsake
The dream
I’m living
Life will pick up steam
When you realize your dream
Believe in what you can do
And, you will, too

LYRICS
What do you say
We lay
Down our arms
And make love
Turn off the killing alarms
Be free of
Turn on getting turned on
Spawn
A lush crush
For sure
Make love, not war
Love more, more, more
Make love, not war
Hate hate negate
More love more more
Lay your love spoor
Make love not war
ABOUT THIS SONG
Make love, not war is an anti-war slogan commonly associated with the American counterculture of the 1960s. It was used primarily by those who were opposed to the Vietnam War, but has been invoked in other anti-war contexts since. The “make love” part of the slogan often referred to the practice of free love that was growing among the American youth who denounced marriage as a tool for those who supported war and favored the traditional capitalist culture.The phrase’s origins are unclear; some credit Louis Abolafia. Radical activists Penelope and Franklin Rosemont helped to popularize the phrase by printing thousands of “Make Love, Not War” buttons at the Solidarity Bookshop in Chicago, Illinois and distributing them at the Mother’s Day Peace March in 1965. They were the first to print the slogan.
In April 1965, at a Vietnam demonstration in Eugene, Oregon, Diane Newell Meyer, then a senior at the University of Oregon, pinned a handwritten note on her sweater reading “Let’s make love, not war”, thus marking the beginning of the popularity of this phrase. A picture of Meyer wearing the slogan was printed in the Eugene Register-Guard and then a related article turned up in the New York Times on May 9, 1965. When the slogan was used in California in 1967, then Governor Ronald Reagan joked to protesters “Those guys [the protesters] look like they can’t make either of both”.

LYRICS
Now I know what She meant
By shoveling cement
My ribs taking a ribbing
Funny bone ain’t laughing
Lungs gasping
Blood sugar crashing
Exhaustion ain’t forgiving
Even the most miniscule muscle aching
Forsaking
The lazy mode
On the unchained gang road
Lifting a heavy load
On the unchained gang road
Unlocking spiritual code

A pound of bricks
Or a pound of feathers?

Polar vortex, clipper or nor’ easter
Take it as another kick to the keister
Or consider the splendor of the impending gleam
Know what I mean?

Veil the frail in fractal white crystal
As to the blind man’s Braille
The third eye’s sail
See it all
Ensure splendid grandeur for their future

LYRICS
Find beauty in the light
And find beauty in the night
With the dark comes might

I love the winter
She brings spring
What goes from a splinter
Turns to an equinox thing
You can’t fight the need for light
You can’t fight the need for night
