F#m
Yo, yup
F#m
Thanks for stoppin' in
             Bm
This ain't no pop, no Mary Poppins , not a synonym
         A                            
Ah Jr. Gong and Joss Stone the modern day Janis Joplin
C#9
 Come to tell you what is happenin'
          F#m
If you've been tuning in
                         Bm
I'm assuming that you're unsatisfied unless 
                                     
you don't know the root of the music
              A
From the beginning
                   C#9
In this modern day test tube factory that we're livin' in


[Verse 1]

C#m
What is this nonsense I can't hear through?
This combination of money and fools
Bm
It's abominable
Uncontrollable
C#m
Remember the stage where the flower child rules
and music was true so the people could choose
   Bm
then the suits took control
Promote a new low

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m                                    Bm
My life is a soundtrack to a beautiful movement
C#m                                 Bm
Composed to get closer to a revolution
What are you doing?


[Chorus]

F#m
Wake up
                        Bm
Tell me what is this nonsense
                  A
Why can't we be conscious?
                        C#
Of what we're feeding our people
F#m
Wake up
                      Bm
Tell me what is this nonsense
             A
You killed the conscious
                 C#
With your deliberate evil


[Verse 2]

C#m
What is this shit now we're forced to sit?
The greenery gone and our soul got split
Bm
It's incredulous
How your lyrics got prejudice
C#m
Cast your mind back to the soul out flick
When a couple of strings and a mic was it
Bm
It's a fashion-less show
Unbelievable

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]


[Bridge]

C#m
(First they take your mind)

Ambiguous and subliminal
                               Bm
What does singing have to do with my abdominals?
Better read the fine print in your peripherals
C#m
(Then they take your soul)
                                  Bm
Him and me lawyer come pen pals, suddenly I hear
funny signals
What a sneaky set of individuals
C#m
(And just before you know)

You can't see no residuals
                   Bm     
And those who say they have your back
you take it out a straight attack
and sell out for decimals 
C#m
(The whole of you is owned by
Somebody else, your screamin' for help
      Bm
So shake up yourself, the call is comin' through)
Some truth from me to you


[Chorus]


[Outro]

F#m           Bm
    What's this nonsense
               A
Can't we be conscious?
                    C#
Of what we're feeding our, what we're feeding our
F#m                Bm
     What's this nonsense
                A
Can't we be conscious?
           C#
Can't we be, can't we be?
F#m          Bm
Now wake up, wake up
                    A
All my people now wake up
              C#
Wake up for me, wake up for me people
F#m      Bm
Wake up, wake up
          A
Wake up, wake up
                C#
You got to be conscious
