Hi, this is Smooth Steve from K-Jazz.
Welcome to Chava the Hut.
Tonight we've got a special guest, a young man from
[E] He's playing a new song.
Here we go.
Thanks, Smooth Steve.
Hey, this is a song about a book I read once
about the so-called inherent evils of rock and roll,
and I wrote this little song about it.
I guess I'd just like to thank you all for letting me come out and sing this song tonight.
Here it goes.
Once I [G] read a book, and this is what it [A] said,
If your music has [E] a beat, then you're gonna wind up dead.
[G] It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or [A] not,
If it's [E] syncopated rhythm, then your soul is gonna rot.
[A] And this book was [E] called,
Ha!
You're Gonna Burn.
[A] And in the second [E] chapter, I went on to learn.
[G] I baked [A] two [E] houseplants and put them to the test.
[G] Set them both in front [A] of speakers and let [E] the music do the rest.
[G] The first one you [A] play Mozart or [E] something lovely like that.
[G] The second one you play [A] that Petsch or that [E] Megadeth.
It doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.
[G] So I took my two [E] houseplants and I put them to the test.
[G] Set them both in front of speakers [E] and let the music do the rest.
[G] I powered up my [E] Pioneer, so let the music roar.
[G] But twenty [A] minutes later, [E] someone's knocking at my door.
I opened up my [G] door, and there my neighbor [A] stood.
He said, man I'd like to get [E] some sleep if you think I could.
I [G] said, man can't you see here, [A] I've got this [E] moral dilemma that I've gotta get clear.
He said, what kind of [G] moral dilemma could you have at this time of [E] night,
that could make me so angry that I just wanna [A] fight?
Sorry, so I pointed to [E] the page in that open [A] book that had a [E] picture of a potted plant,
and I said go have a look.
And he read.
[G] I baked [A] two houseplants [E] and put them to the test.
[G] Set them both in front of [A] speakers and let the [E] music do the rest.
[G] The first one you play [A] Mozart or something [E] lovely like that.
The [G] second one you play that [A] Petsch or that [E] Megadeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.
[Em] [G] [E]
First of all [G] he said, that's Wagner that [A] you're playing.
I've never heard of [E] Petsch or Megadeth all dead.
[G] Secondly, [A] emphatically he [E] asked me what's the sense of [G] hanging out with [A] houseplants.
I said, hey I [E] live right across the fence.
And I thought to myself, you know that's a good point.
So [G] I took my [A] two houseplants [E] and I put them both back outside.
[G] And me and [A] my neighbor, well [E] we went out for a drive.
[G] We talked [A] about all the [E] things that really matter most.
[G] Like life and [A] love and happiness [E] and the whole globe.
[G] [A] [E]
[G] Now my two [A] houseplants will [E] sit out in the sun.
[G] And as for my [A] neighbor, well our [E] friendship has become
a [G] meaningful [Am] relationship [E] that's headed straight to heaven.
But as [Em] for now, we like to sit around [E] and listen to audio adrenaline.
Drink till 11.
Thanks a lot you guys, thanks.
You're a wonderful [C#] audience.
I'd like to thank my [E] band Audio Adrenaline for coming all the way out here.
Driving all night from Wilmington, North Dakota to back me up, thanks.
Don't forget to hip your waiters and waitresses, thanks.
