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
