Mental Pollution

V1:
Gather round my friends, I’ve got some truth to tell
It may leave you worried, it may leave you unwell
Cause there a secret thats been hidden, they don’t want you to know
an agenda has been written, now let me tell you so
Chorus:
They keep polluting our water, they keep polluting the sky
So you don’t think any harder, but you have to try
V2:
See this earth she is hurting, breathing our lies
while the world it keeps turning, as nature dies
See yeah man we’ve been greedy, just taking too much
Its time to start thinking, were not giving enough
Chorus:
They keep polluting our water, they keep polluting the sky
So you don’t think any harder, but you have to try
Bridge:
Some believe in what they’re told, I believe in what i’m shown
Some believe in what they’re told, I believe in what i’m shown
Chorus:
They keep polluting our water, they keep polluting the sky
So you don’t think any harder, but you have to try
Outro:
So they keep saluting the powers, never questioning why
They get paid by the hour, as they slowly die

Maybe Someday

V1:
Now people we’ve been fighting for so long
It seems we’ve forgotten where we come from
See you and i are different branches from the same tree
This tree of life, this tree of love, called humanity
So why is it every time I turn on the TV
I see war, hate, greed, and fear mongering
So my brothers and sisters, now why cant you see
That this is not how things are supposed to be
All this separation and great disparity
distances you and I from endless harmony
See its not about the difference in our beliefs
or the state of our prosperities
Chorus:
So maybe someday when pigs fly
maybe someday we’ll no longer hide
maybe someday we’ll have peace in the middle east
maybe someday we’ll end poverty
V2:
So I look around at all the people on the street
living their lives with no shoes on there feet
and nobody seems to even want to help them eat
it seems we view them as society’s defeat
So brothers and sisters listen to this beat
Uniting together with love is our biggest feat
See theres no need to even be discreet
Follow your heart, follow your love, and be set free
Chorus:
So maybe someday when pigs fly
maybe someday we’ll no longer hide
maybe someday we’ll have peace in the middle east
maybe someday we’ll end poverty

V1:
Now tell me how do you sleep at night
Now tell me how do you go knowing things just aren’t right
Now tell me who do you think you are
Making nature illegal, what a farce
V2:
Now tell me Mr Politician
What are you, now what are you thinking
When nobody agrees, they disagree with your stupidity
stupidity
Bridge:
And one day, we will overcome
Chorus:
All these legal lies
Yeh these legal lies
Well they demonise
Demonising me
Yeh these legal lies
All these evil legal lies
Well they demonise
Demonising me
V3:
Hey Mr Policeman, how does it feel to uphold the law
When the law is much older than you are
See the law must be reviewed, before it can be renewed
or the people end up being screwed
Bridge:
And one day, we will overcome
Chorus:
All these legal lies
Yeh these legal lies
Well they demonise
Demonising me
Yeh these legal lies
All these evil legal lies
Well they demonise
Demonising me
Bass + Trumpet Solo + Buildup
Outro:
and one day we will overcome
now one day we will overcome
yeh one day we will overcome
and one day we will overcome

Intro:
Sometimes I find i’m losing my mind
its leaving me behind, stuck alone in time
Sometimes I find, i’m losing my mind
Its leaving me behind, eating me up inside
V1:
Now the only thing I need, is a breath of relief
Some fresh green freedom, to set me free
Cause happiness don’t come easy, in a world of chaos
were all is lost, to total madness
Chorus:
Oh oh oh oh
Mother nature set me free
Oh oh oh oh
Mother nature set me free
V2:
Theres a calling inside of me, that I can not answer
I can not answer, till theres political change
Now the powers sicken me, when all I want to do is heal naturally
But I can not yet, I can not yet
Chorus:
Oh oh oh oh
Mother nature set me free
Oh oh oh oh
Mother nature set me free
Outro:
Sometimes I find i’m losing my mind
its leaving me behind, stuck alone in time
Sometimes I find, i’m losing my mind
Its leaving me behind, eating me up inside

V1:
My mind is cloudy, from all the Purple Haze
Got no time for your negative thoughts, and negative ways
Toking on some Tangie, happy as can be
fills me up with nothing but joy and positivity
Chorus:
Cause I, Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
Nothings gonna get to me, yeh eh eh
I inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
and you know it sets me free, yeh eh eh
V2:
CBD, is how I start my day
Takes all the anxiety and throws it all away
Blueberry blunts, nothing id rather do
Roll it up and smoke it down, hanging with my crew
Chorus:
Cause I, Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
Nothings gonna get to me, yeh eh eh
I inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
and it sets me free
Bluntfield Rap:
Two wrongs dont make a right
But two joints has me feeling nice
So dont mind while I'm spitting the lines
And try invigorate the masses and the dissonant types
See many missing in life of what is really divine
A calcified pineal gland will stifen the light
So we're hitting up medicinals to chill in the sky
And if you're sitting on bad feelings you can kiss it goodbye
Blazing enhances a meal
Is only outlawed cause theres powers at will
Plants over pills, tobacco's a cancer they deal
Monopolizing medicine is madness for real
Falling for the propaganda is foolish
Grab the herb by the horns in the bull pit
Wearing heart on our sleeve and the shoe fits
Blow out the stress and inhale the good shit
I said blow out and inhale the good shit!
Chorus:
Cause I, Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
Nothings gonna get to me, yeh eh eh
I inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
and it sets me free
Step Up Chorus:
Cause I, Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
Nothings gonna get to me, yeh eh eh
I inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit
and it sets me free
