Standard (EADGBE)
Everywhere you looked there was confusion, violence,
drama and drugs
So many rigtheous revolutionaries spouting
utopian love
Everyone shouted in purplehaze
Then one day they woke up from their dream state
They found themselves no more at peace then before
Older, meek and conformed
Chorus 1
pty causes
A bluster for the soul, a fix for the mind
pty causes
Cling to everything you find
2nd verse:
Well, the shots rang out like popcorn and the chief was hit
and rushed out of site
The mohawk-chained, leather brigade rejoiced maliciously
on that night Someone cried out "Fuck the government"
His mates couldn't define what he meant
So no one gave him the time of day And the scene died away
Chorus 2
pty causes
A war for the body, an army in the mind
pty causes
Losing steam as time goes by
Bridge
Could it be that everybody selfishly desires their
own personal retinue?
And the causes are just manifestations of too much time
and far too little todo
(Guitar solo in C major)
Chorus 3
pty causes
Direction for the soul, conviction for the mind
pty causes
Cling to it all everything you find
pty causes
A war for the body, an army in the mind
pty causes
You've got yours and I've got mine
Aah aah [
(I)]aah aah aah
