LYRICS
You may want to be careful with what it is you say
For a fool blurts it out removing all doubt
A mother would always say
“If you don’t have anything nice to say,
Don’t say anything at all.”
Subtle as a cannon ball
Why not just give way…
Save it for another day

Time to get back to schoolin’ for foolin’
Prompt something kind to come to mind
Thennnn… shout it out
That’s what I’m talkin’ about

What the world needs today is a lil’ more love
Let’s see if we all can rise above
Put more sanity into our reality
And, see shining from sea to shining sea
(shining from sea to shining see shining from sea to shining see)

LYRICS
You can come if you want… or if you’d rather… go
Well, you’re free or don’t you know
Yes, you’re free or don’t you know

We can join if you like… together we’ll grow
Agree of don’t we know?

Chorus
If the master comes, makes you the clown
Wants to push, push, push you down

You can stay if you like… or if you’d rather blow
Well, you’re free or don’t you know
Yes, you’re free or don’t you know

Chorus

If disaster tries to make you moan
With the finger say, “leave me alone!”

Imagine you get all that you want
Imagine your dreams come true
Imagine you got all that you want
Then, what would you do?

Would you finally have the time
To find your inner view
Would you start to reason and rhyme

LYRICS
Raise your stein to Frankenstorm
The lessons that we all can learn
Drink. Drink. Drink! A toast to Sandy
Civilization on the verge of insanity

Call in the cows from the farm
Less they be Wizard-of-Oz airborne
Drink. Drink. Drink! A toast to Sandy
Civilization on the verge of insanity

Life threatening. Light Thundering.
Strife rendering. Right bewildering.

LYRICS
Rape, pilfer and plunder
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
There’s only yesterday
As far as the eye (I) can see

Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’re beatin’
That dead horse to death
Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’ve eatin’
To the entrails through the flesh

Scrape, litter and squander
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
No more tomorrow
For you or me

I wish we were apt to adapt
Waste our waste
Trash our trash
Smash our thrash

ABOUT
This song was inspired by Dave Grohl’s 2012 Grammy Acceptance Speech… and, was ecorded in a makeshift home-studio using an 8-track recorder.

LYRICS

Dave,
Please save the day.
Hey!

Can you teach us to play?
Can you meet us half way?
Can you reach us… all the way?

“It comes from here.” (point to your heart)
It comes from hear. (point to your mind)

Ole school Grohl
Taping in the garage
Ole school Grohl
No music mirage
Ole school Grohl

Dave,
Please save the day.
Hey!

Will you help us today?
Will you lead the way…
Show us how to plaaaaaay.
How to play a show…
The spirit in music you know.

No fool fighters
Dave Grohl sighters

DAVE GROHL’S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Accepting the award, Grohl said, “To me, this award means a lot because it shows the human element of music is what’s important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do…It’s not about being perfect, it’s not about sounding absolutely correct, it’s not about what goes on in a computer. It’s about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].”

Later, Dave went on to say, “To me the biggest advantage of going analog is the restrictions that it implies, which gets you to perform in a way that you’re actually being a human being. We thought about heart and performance. And I would rather people not tune their vocals, I would rather people not grid their drums.”

A little drop of light
Had the might
To creep and peep
Through the shadows of a cloud
And, shine a drop on me
Like angels singing aloud
Liquid sunshine
Makes ya feel feel fine
A little drop of light
Feels alright

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

I’ve got a studio
Oh, oh, oh
For you and I,
I, i, i

You can plug right in
And, begin
To play
For the rest of the day

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

An Introduction .mp3 and Free Download Information

F# / D# / C# / A# / G# / F#

I’ve got some friends
I’d like you to know
So, let’s get up…
Get up and go

These are the kind of people
Though they don’t congregate
Under a steeple
They help the light shine
The light shine
Shine on and on and on

These people I call friends
Most of them are true
Until the end
Though you know
How things can go
A friend can turn
Into foe
Just so you know

Let the light shine

As far as I know
These are the people
That you want to know
The kind-of friend
You want to the bitter end

Let the light shine on and on and on

So, if you’re not too busy
If you’re not feeling over worked
If you won’t be a complete idiot jerk
I’ll show to some good, good friends
You can be a good, good friend
To the bitter, bitter end

It’s the least I can do
Now that I know you

If it seems you’re day isn’t quite fulfilling
How’s this for gelling
These friends can show ya how to be groovin’
When you get together
It’s like heaven

It’s not a lesson in forgiving
It’s more about believing
In one another
Like sister and brother
Like mother or father
Like son or daughter
