Okay, so this is a new song that I want to put out on YouTube for the listeners and anyone
else who wants to hear it.
Today is two months.
Two months since the rent bill.
And Tony Hayward,
Tony Wayward is yachting.
Maybe he knows he should enjoy the ocean while he can.
Anyway,
so here we go.
I think I'm going to call this song, If I Could Talk to a Genie.
[Am]
Keeping us [D] from keeping up is just what suits [Am] me, Pete.
It's working cause now I can't stand
to turn on my TV.
Not one more weeping family, one more oil-thristened wing.
While their
pipe still spews its poison and they crap on everything.
If I [Dm] could talk to a genie,
my wish would be [E] we'd grab this power and blow it [Am] around for free.
If I [Dm] could talk to
the animals, I'd hang [E] my head and [Am] shake it.
The snake would be [D] the smartest guy that I
could [Am] not explain.
[E] [Am] [E] Unmedicated [D] bullshit always makes the [Am] daily news.
Lady Gaga's underwear
to Sarah Palin's boots.
While [E] every [D] waking minute some poor [Ab] creature tries [Am] to swim through
a stretch of toxic ocean till it feels as if it's in.
If I [Dm] could talk to a genie, my
wish [Am] would be we'd [E] grab this power and blow [Dm] it around for free.
If I could talk to the
animals, I'd hang my head [Am] and shake it.
The [E] snake would be the smartest guy that I could
[Am] not explain.
[E] [F] Even though my [Am] kamata's full, [F] I'm gonna feel this fits [C] me in.
By [F] the valley
of [Am] [G] Yolanda, [F] surely faith is [C] wearing thin.
[D] Guess the saints ain't [G] marching [E] in.
[Am]
The [E] guy
in town's treachery [A] discrimination tells.
With nothing quite [D] as slimy as the oil men
[Am] themselves.
With broken locks, bad doors, and [G] evil belch and chugging spew.
They [E] got
pockets [Am] full of profits and now they're passing through.
If [Dm] I could talk to a genie, my wish
would be we'd [E] grab this power and blow [Am] it around for free.
If I [Dm] could talk to the animals,
I'd hang [Am] my head and shake it.
