Crank It Up.mp3

LYRICS
As of this date
How can it be too late
To alleviate
… if we don’t hesitate
And, crank-up the love

If you’re interested
In gathering love together
Letting the hypothesis be tested
Is infinite forever?

LYRICS
If I were stranded
On a deserted island
I supposed it’d be re-branded
To the dance I land
Set soul’s sail
Let vocals wail
To the third-eye land

The 3rd island from the sun
The 3rd-eye land, son
I’m talkin’ ’bout
“and then sum” some

Past Mercury, Venus
Chances are
If you get to Mars
There’s been too many “too fars”

Neil Young Coversong

Rocking In The Free World.mp3

Intro: Em     D   C  (4x)

Em                   D   C
Colors on the street 
      Em             D   C 
Red, white and blue 
        Em           D   C 
People shufflin' their feet 
         Em                     D   C 
People sleepin' in their shoes 
                Em                  D    C
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead 
           Em                            D          C
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead 
       Em                     D     C
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them 
     Em                     D     C
So I try to forget it, any way I can. 

G       D                          C    C/B C/A G       
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
        D                          C    C/B C/A G
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
        D                          C    C/B C/A G          
Keep on rockin' in the free world,                        
        D                          C    C/B C/A G      
Keep on rockin' in the free world.                       

I see a woman in the night 
With a baby in her hand 
Under an old street light 
Near a garbage can 
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit 
She hates her life, and what she's done to it 
There's one more kid that will never go to school 
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world. 
(Bass only)      
We got a thousand points of light 
For the homeless man 
We got a kinder, gentler,  
Machine gun hand 
(Guitar starts in)
We got department stores and toilet paper 
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer 
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive 
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.

Young people speakin' their minds

R.I.P.
Rest in peace
Harry Houdini
Let us see
Life’s lease
The world of spirit
All the mortal
Move near it
It is said
We’re closer to the dead

Reveal
The spirit world is real
Let it be seen
On Halloween

The soul in this sole
Was given birth on Earth

A seance sentence
“Our beloved spirit, we bring you gifts from life into death. Commune with us, spirit, and move among us.”
We believe you will hear it

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Dm Em Am

Some are born on Halloween. Harry Houdini died on Halloween. There are many who believe it is the day of the year that the mortal world is closest to the spiritual world. Every year they hold a seance in an attempt to contact Harry’s spirit.

Summoning spirits: “Our beloved [name of spirit], we bring you gifts from life into death. Commune with us, [name of spirit], and move among us.”

Have made me sit up… take notice
They’ll be no satisfactions

You can’t smoke

They’re passing a law — you can’t think

You can’t toke
Doesn’t oppression stink?
Placing the last straw
You can’t even blink

Home of the free and brave?

Or are we now the slave?

Greased palm and a wink
Causing a flaw
