SONG STRUCTURE:
==============
----> Play Riff 1 (x2) over:
I am a music lover, and somehow I get paid
This song would still exist if no money were made
That's the difference I summed it up in a sentence
I'm sittin' here perfectly still cause I've got no place to go
Be about two months until we light up the show, follow me now
I sing of spring it's a marvelous thing
What else swing the thing you bring
----> (Guitar #1) Play Chorus Riff A (x8) \\
(Guitar #2) Play Chorus Riff B (x8) / over:
Yo I've got to say Hola
Orange County to Angola
I go back to the beat
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it Rola
Yo I've got to say Hola
Orange County to Angola
I go back to the beat
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it Rola
----> Play Riff 1 (x2) over:
I deem stream of sweat that connects me to you
I still be all about that thing that you do
We dip dive so herbalize
I don't look over my shoulder but I know there are spies
But than long time crew, stuck like glue
You never let me down, always came through
Always kept the flow, even when you didn't know
Don't ask us, we make it up as we go
----> (Guitar #1) Play Chorus Riff A (x8) \\
(Guitar #2) Play Chorus Riff B (x8) / over:
Yo I've got to say Hola
Orange County to Angola
I go back to the beat
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it Rola
Yo I've got to say Hola
Orange County to Angola
I go back to the beat
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it Rola
----> Play Riff 3 (x3) (play this muffled with the palm of your hand the
third time) over:
Seems like people are the virus and earth is simply tired of us
So many heads what if something would give
And kill off our race, maybe diseases from space
Arriving from a comet with a trail left for the planet
Say the wake it created was the start of the end
Filled with spores that were engineered, plant pathogens
What's in the future for the view is many changes
Humans could be in danger what would you eat to be a remainder
As your food is maimed to take you out the frame
Some would vaporize, some would remain
The same suckers with no cares about the wave of the world I feel
Their lives are destined for hard times, too
----> ALL INSTRUMENTS EXCEPT DRUMS AND KEYBOARD STOP
----> Play Riff 3 over:
There's a parallel universe that might be blocked
But by emotion we put into it we could unlock
I'm not saying we could escape fate tunneling in this vast
Untranslatable energy filled of dust and ash
