[Intro]
F#mYo, yup
F#mThanks for stoppin' in
This ain't no Bmpop, no Mary Poppins , not a synonym
Ah Jr. GoAng and Joss Stone the modern day Janis Joplin
 C#9Come to tell you what is happenin'
If you've F#mbeen tuning in
I'm assuming that you're Bmunsatisfied unless 
you don't know the root of the music
From the beginAning
In this modern day C#9test tube factory that we're livin' in
[Verse 1]
C#mWhat is this nonsense I can't hear through?
This combination of money and fools
BmIt's abominable
Uncontrollable
C#mRemember the stage where the flower child rules
and music was true so the people could choose
theBmn the suits took control
Promote a new low
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mMy life is a soundtrack to a beautiful Bmmovement
C#mComposed to get closer to a revolutiBmon
What are you doing?
[Chorus]
F#mWake up
Tell me what is this nonBmsense
Why can't we be coAnscious?
Of what we're feeding ouC#r people
F#mWake up
Tell me what is this nBmonsense
You killed thAe conscious
With your deliberC#ate evil
[Verse 2]
C#mWhat is this shit now we're forced to sit?
The greenery gone and our soul got split
BmIt's incredulous
How your lyrics got prejudice
C#mCast your mind back to the soul out flick
When a couple of strings and a mic was it
BmIt's a fashion-less show
Unbelievable
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
C#m(First they take your mind)
Ambiguous and subliminal
What does singing have to do wiBmth my abdominals?
Better read the fine print in your peripherals
C#m(Then they take your soul)
Him and me lawyer come pen pals, sBmuddenly I hear
funny signals
What a sneaky set of individuals
C#m(And just before you know)
You can't see no residuals
And those who say tBmhey 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
So shaBmke up yourself, the call is comin' through)
Some truth from me to you
[Chorus]
[Outro]
    F#mWhat's thiBms nonsense
Can't we be conAscious?
Of what we're feedinC#g our, what we're feeding our
     F#mWhat's this noBmnsense
Can't we be consAcious?
Can't we beC#, can't we be?
F#mNow wake up, Bmwake up
All my people now waAke up
Wake up for meC#, wake up for me people
F#mWake up, Bmwake up
Wake up, wAake up
You got to be coC#nscious
