Lets move to North Korea GDG GCD GDCG GDG Imagine a world with no advertisements. Everywhere you go, everywhere you look. A world without pointless pissing products forcefully forced down our throats, Every time we dare to step outside. In north Korea they only advertise one product Kim jong-un, their leader supreme I'm not saying that we're better we spent billions this year alone On events to advertise our queen. Over there the government controls the media, Here the media controls government I'm not saying that they've got it right I'm just saying that we've got it wrong While big businesses, control our freedom They've got the fastest Internet on the planet But it only connects to government sites And I think I'd like that better than what we've got here 'cause more and more it seems to me That the Internet, controls out lives Let's move to north Korea I hear the weather's nice this time of year And if you don't mind living in fear... Of disease or famine, false imprisonment or public hanging, Them lets up sticks and move to north Korea And if they'd let me emigrate You know I'd be there in a heartbeat And I guarantee in a couple of days I'd have people marching in the street And before the week was out The government would be in rout And the people will be free And never again will they trust a government They'll never bow their heads to monarchy They'll trust in each other, and believe in themselves Found a state of positive anarchy That sounds like the kind of place for me.

Sqat the Moon G G G Em - part 1 C G D G - part 2 I had a dream, That lived in a tent In a field by the side of the road Everything that I had I could fit in my bag And everyday along the streets I would roam I'd play ukelele for the people I'd meet They'd give me some change or something to eat And sometimes I'd feel hungry I'd never feel alone 'Cause I may not have a house but the city- The city is my home No more hours wasted scrolling through the Internet Or sat in front of TV No just scraping by, struggling to pay my rent The cost of living is nothing when you live in a tent And I'd shower and shave at my old university, They let anybody in, there's practically no security And yeah I'd miss my bed, and in the winter I would freeze But I could just move to the forest and build - Build a house in the trees You'd never see me on the street corner with an empty coffee cup You'd never see me beg I'd be playing, writing, singing my songs meeting new people instead Cause if you're not living you're dying if you're not moving you'll stagnate When you've got nowhere to go well then you never can be late But it's not that I have nowhere to go I could go anywhere at all Down south towards the channel or back north - Back north towards the wall The things we see as necessities are so far from that Man we used to live in caves We believe technology has raised us up But it also drags us down 'Cause to technology we all are slaves We're all stuck in this scripted drama, tells us how our lives should be Your born and then you work until the day you cease to breathe And I don't need your jobs, I don't need your cars What's a roof over my head Compared with a ceiling- A ceiling of stars We were constantly told how to best live our lives By parents teachers and tv That by giving up our dreams and personalities we could become productive members if society But this society is broken and I won't have any part And if I can live outside of it by living outside well that's a fucking start And until I can build a spaceship well i guess this will have to do 'Cause the day that comes I'm leaving earth to claim - Squatters rights on the moon.

Live Young 03:02
Live young GDEm. -chorus CGDEm. -verse If age is really about how old we feel inside Then I'm gonna die young No matter how long my life And if I don't die happy If I didn't live carefree Then I'm giving you permission To kill me 'cause I live each moment One at a time Never looking forwards Rarely looking behind 'cause there's nothing less productive Than worrying about what might be or have been Why waste the time when it's short enough You could be out there living your dreams And if age is really about How old we feel inside Then I'm gonna die young No matter how long my life And if I don't die happy If I didn't live carefree Them I'm giving you permission To kill me What are dreams anyway Something to be ignored Until you're old, you're washed up Tiered and bored In this life you regret Not what you did but what you did not Take the leap and if you fall flat Well at least you gave it a shot If age is really about how old you feel inside Then I'm gonna die young No matter how long my life and if I do t die happy If I didn't live carefree Them I'm giving you permission To kill me Because life isn't about money Power or fame It's about standing atop mountains Screaming out your name It's about loving and losing Taking both in your stride Knowing when to fight your corner Knowing when to swallow your pride If age is about how old You feel inside Then I'm gonna die young No matter how long my life And if I don't die laughing With a smirk across my face Then you might as well just kill me now Because it'll all have been a waste.

'Tis the season to be melancholy Verse E B A E Chor Em D C D S.A.D. Means the winter kind of gets to me So if you think that I'm just miserable you're wrong So if you come back in the summer I promise I'll be less of a bummer And you might even enjoy These stupid songs Because once the guy is burned My mood it tends to turn For the worse and I can't get out of bed So if you piss me off prepare To have your head bitten off Because my temper and patience hand by a thread Christmas songs seem to mock me and follow me wherever I Go, let it snow let it snow, let them all leave me alone The worse the weather gets the better my excuse for not leaving my Home, the worse the weather gets the more I just want to be left alone Because once the guy is burned My mood it tends to turn For the worse and I can't get out of bed So if you piss me off prepare To have your head bitten off Because my temper and patience hand by a thread S.A.D. Means the winter kind of gets to me So if you think that I'm just miserable you're wrong So if you come back in the summer I might be less of a bummer And you might even enjoy This fucking song This fucking song

Huey P. 05:14
Huey P. Ver. D D C C D D C C A G D D A G D D Chor. D C D C A G D D Burned up burned out run down and tiered of giving a shit 'Cause what's the point in having all these feelings if I never act on it And I couldn't tell you what would be right but all I see is wrong And without that Definite aim how can we move on If freedom is the end, then freedom must be out means You can't enslave people in order to set them free So I'll keep living free, hoping it catches on But lately it seems nobodies listening and I'm on my own Then Huey said: You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution There will be no prison which can hold our movement down Then Huey said: You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution There will be no prison which can hold our movement down Shown up, thrown out, torn down their laws, lies and politics Because order, doesn't need power in order to exist Order isn't borders, order isn't maintained by the state And I think perhaps freedom and order could cohabitate I wouldn't trust in a revolution that happened in just one day I wouldn't trust in a revolution lead by just one man Because revolution's in your hearts and your minds, it's not on the street And to me it seems the destiny of revolutionaries is to become what they defeat. But then Huey said: You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution There will be no prison which can hold our movement down Then Huey said: You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution There will be no prison which can hold our movement down Then Huey said: You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution There will be no prison which can hold our movement down

This Is What Freedom Means Ver. A D A E A D E D A D A E A D E Chor. D D A E Sleeping in til two pm To go out on the town again About a Pint of whiskey at the bar Then to the streets! With my guitar I'll try to find some like minded friends To sing and play down by the Thames Songs of revolution And anarchy 'Cause sometimes freedom Is less about my idealistic notions It's about being who I am Not who I' m meant to be And while I'll always fight for liberty And strive for equality Time spent in good company Is what freedom means to me I've got beliefs, ideals, philosophies But, only one policy To never do anything That I don't love Because time spent on unhappiness Is time spent on nothingness Gotta live while you're alive because You only live once And sometimes freedom Is less about sparking a revolution It's about sitting on my roof Just me and my guitar Just doing what I wanna Is what freedom means to me Because life isn't meant to Be hard Life isn't meant to be hard. You wouldn't see me on the front line With an angry slogan covered sign The freedoms I concern myself with are freedoms of the mind Because its every mans prerogative To live how he sees fit to love For better or for worse Will have to be seen in time Bridge. D A D E D A E E Call me an armchair revolutionary Or anything you want Just because I'm not marching down the streets with you Doesn't mean I've given up So keep on waving black flags I'll keep singing silly songs And if your revolution comes I'll be glad you proved me wrong

Celebrate 02:45
Celebrate Ver Am F C G Chor F C G Am When I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut, A soldier or a musician You might say this is my attempt To fulfil the latter But I don't think that that is the reason Why I sing these songs to you It's mostly just something to do To pass the time Before I get old Live your life for you Do whatever you want to You don't have to Fit the mould (Whatever you've been told) So come Celebrate the fact that you're fact that you're breathing Because life never did need a reason Just breathe until you can not breathe anymore And that's all there is to this game The greatest lie that is fed to us Is that we must have purpose It's the reason everyone's so fucked up If we can't act off our feelings And everything must have reason It's no wonder we're so out of touch I don't think life needs a plan Make as many mistakes as you can Cause that's the only way that you'll ever learn Live as much as you can live Give as much as you can give And to the critics pay no heed No concern (Pay them no concern) So come Celebrate the fact that you're fact that you're breathing Because life never did need a reason Just breathe until you can not breathe anymore And that's all there is to this game Living is all there is to life and death isn't something we should fear. Hear. Me say. It's all a game It's all a game It's just a game
