_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You were looking down [E] at them, they were looking down at [G] you, you were starched and pressed.
[Em] They were all disheveled, they were [Am] holding hands, they were [G] ragamuffins and they said
I know we're not fancy, but we're on [E] the same level.
We've got plans, big plans, [G] we're gonna change the world.
All you care about is dollars, [E] that doesn't make sense.
All you [Am] do is hit snooze, watch the [G] news, buy shoes, drink [E] booze, make money feel spent
[B] and day after day after day it's the same [G] shit day after day after day it's the same
shit [Am] day after day after day it's the [G] same shit day after day after day after day after day. _ _
Then you look at them without batting an eye and say, [G] hey little hippie let your freak
flag [Am] fly, why don't you go smoke a bowl in your best tied eye, get a tattoo of a dancing
[E] bear holding a peace sign, you can talk the talk when it comes to real change, [G] aren't
you and all your little friends exactly the same, you [C] sit around at potlucks pointing
fingers, placing [G] blame, drinking kombucha and [E] eating [Am] tempeh and day after day after
day it's the same [G] shit day after day after day [Em] it's the same shit day after day after
day [G] it's the same shit day after day after day [E] after day after day. _
_ If you are judging them, well they are [G] judging you, and you think that makes them assholes,
maybe you're an asshole [Am] too, do we argue with each other, do we both turn [G] blue, or find
similarities in what we like and what we do, yeah, just because someone does not look like
me doesn't mean they are a clone or a sheep, [Am] maybe they like their job and they're living
their dream [G] and they love their [E] friends and their family, yeah, some people thrive between
nine and five [G] and feel like they're choking if their neck's not tied, [Am] and some people
feel as if they're gonna die [G] if their seams aren't straight and their shoes aren't tied,
some people like business, some people like numbers, some people grow organic heirloom
cucumbers [C] and only feel free with their hands in the dirt, [G] in a pair of old jeans and their
favorite t-shirts, [Am] some people feel enslaved when they have a [G] boss, some people without
one are totally [E] lost, to make [C] this world work it takes all different [G] kinds, we all have
different tastes, different strengths, different [E] minds, so it [Am] doesn't make sense to [G] generalize,
and it doesn't make sense to judge with our [E] eyes, we [C] need more compassion, we need to
be [G] kind, if you open your heart you might like what you [E] find, cause there [Am] are some mean
bus drivers, but there are some nice [G] bus drivers, and there are some nice cops, in Madison,
[E] Wisconsin, [Am] there are some nice teachers, and there are some mean [G] teachers, just because
you have a mean teacher doesn't mean all [E] teachers suck, and [C] no one is nice all the time, no
one is [G] mean all the time, think about what someone's going through, it's making them
be [Am] mean to you, like maybe their pet gerbil died, and they are really [G] sad inside, or maybe
they are in a fight, with someone that they [E] really like, [Am] maybe they are really shy, don't
know how to [G] socialize, they just want to run and hide, not saying that [Am] it's justified,
but if we learn to empathize, the resentments [G] will vaporize, situations metamorphosize before
[E] our very eyes, [Am] then the need to stereotype will become [G] outdated, when we realize that
everyone is really [Am] complicated, we are all so complicated, we are all so [G] complicated,
I am all so complicated, I am all [E] so [Am] complicated, I'm _ _ _ _ a black, pommel activist, a [G] homeowning
punk, it's been over a decade, since last time I [E] got drunk, I [C] drive a minivan, and I've
got junk in [G] the trunk, I think Danny DeVito is a total [E] hunk, I like [Am] revisiting the shit,
my therapist helps me [G] remember, being friends with someone for a long time, still not knowing
[Em] their gender, I fight for equal rights, and I fight for [G] inner peace, I pray to the dead
for the gratitude [E] I need, I've got [Am] chickens in my backyard, and a little garden [G] plot,
I really hate commercials, but I gotta slap [E] chop, cause I'm a sucker for [Am] a remix, and
let me tell you [G] what, by the time that I am finished, you are gonna love these [Am] nuts, I'm
a little bit pop culture, a lot bit [G] DIY, I don't know the definition of [Am] TMI, I write
poems about my period, post pictures of my [G] log, if you don't like body functions, you
shouldn't read my [Am] blog, my baby's daddy's a musician, from the mountains in [G] France, he
wrote me a song, we did interpretive [Am] dance, then he knocked me up, now we have the coolest
[G] kid, yeah, making her with pins, the smartest thing I ever did, [Am] and I feel like I can fly,
when I'm on roller [G] skates, I get a little high, when I eat dry [E] dates, I feel [C] like I'm
unloading, when I'm loading up the [G] car, I feel like I'm exploding, when I'm holding
my guitar, [Am] I don't understand what numbers have to do with success, [G] or what sales have
to do with happiness, [Am] unless they're the kind of sales that will carry me to see, [G] where
my grandma and grandpa are waiting for me, [Am] I never thought I'd make it to 25, [G] now I'm
pushing 40, and I'm glad that I'm [Am] alive, if I ever need a tour bus, I'm still gonna [G] drive,
cause I like looking out the [Em] window as the world goes by, looking out the windshield
as the world goes by, [G] yeah, looking out the windshield as the world goes by, [Am] now I'm pushing
40 and I'm glad that I'm alive, and [G] I like looking out the windshield as the world goes
[Am] by.
