The Betrayal of the Dream

Capo III

Intro: G Dm Em G C Dm

We dream to be in paradise,(Am Em)
but don't want to be the fool.
(F Am)
We love to live in harmony,
(Am Em)
but never attend again to school.
(G Em)

Mature and learned o so wise
(Am Em)
is that a world not at par?
(F Am)
sympathetic, friendly and so nice
(Am Em)
why arm ourselves, prepare for war?
(G Em)

The dream forgotten, betrayed, an illusion; (Am Em F C)
is life, a drag, a dead routine?
(G7 Em Am)
Myth and tales we tell the children
(Am Em F C)
but now the children that we have been
(Dm Em Am)

Stop with the lie, retrieve the dream
(Am F G Am)
there are no enemies, its only grief
(Dm Em Am)
don't be against the other that is you
(Am Em G Am)
to love them all is the belief.
(Am Dm G C)

its not so hard, to see the dream thats real
(Am Em)
the ways, the people and their lives
(F Am)
to enjoy to be so different and feel
(Am Em)
so happy with the union of our time.
(G Em)

the dream's of nature, the moon, the sun
(Am Em)
the stars that make our galaxy
(F Am)
their time together is what was done
(Am Em)
remember it lead us, made us free
(G Em)


 

Temptation

 

              Capo IV

How beautiful the world is, (D Am)
its gold, its sun, its life around. (Em C G D)
how difficult the soul can be, (Bm Em)
its knowledge, its mores and all its sound. (C Am Bm Em)

 How nice that nature, (Em)
flowers, seeds and happy cries. (C)
How terrible it is, (D)
in ignorance, disservice and the willful lies. (Bm Em)

Chorus: Temptation lead us by the hand, (Em Am)
into the dream don't wake us up. (G C)
A moment forget that lore and more, (C Am)
let's not always drink from that better cup. (D E)
Let's not say we gave up and died, (Bm G)
we loved and did what we could.(Em C)
And if we've erred My God, well then, (Am Bm)
let's make it as it should. (D Em)

 

How happy, one can be, (D Am)
with food, all love and all the goods. (Em C G D)
How bad, one also fears to see, (Bm Em)
of greed, emotions, madness moods. (C Am Bm Em)

 How fresh, the glory is, (Em)
with woman, children and carreer. (C)
How stale also and slack, (D)
the drag and dull of all the love that once seemed dear. (Bm Em)

*

How good all faith, so wise and high, (D Am)
to dreams and hopes and what we pray. (Em C G D)
How poor though is the control, (Bm Em)
with thoughts against that don't stay. (C Am Bm Em)

 How thoughtful, skilled, welfaring, (Em)
one is with what one learned and saw. (C)
How bad though the deception, (D)
with neglect, primal sin and ego set by law. (Bm Em)

Answers

Intro: Em, D, C, D
C, Am, Bm, C, D,
Em, D, C, D
Bm, Am, Bm, Em

Should I tell you what it is;
(Bm)
how it should be, must be seen?
(C, D)
Should I tell you how to do;
(Bm)
the way to rule with a machine?
(C, D)

Should I show you how to think;
(Em, D,)
how to look and what to make?
(C, Bm)
Should I lead you by the hand,
(Em, D,)
so that you know whats real and fake?
(C, Bm)

Answers there are many (Em, D)
answers there are good
(C, D)
but with all these answers
(C, Am)
is the question understood?
(Bm, C, D - 2nd: Em)

We drown in answers far too many
(Em, D, C, D)
our own's enough and certainly not thine
(Em, D7, Em)
our egos heavy more than any
(Em, D, C, Bm)
all ears stuffed to no incline
(Am, Bm, C, D)

Shut up listen and don't speak
(Em)
stop it back off and be meek
(D)
all these answers must be silence
(C, Am, Bm,C, D)
the music's question 's what I seek
(G, Am, Em)

music goes for rhyme the poetry and beauty
(Em, D)
it only tells to listen, wonder sing along
(Am, Bm, C, D)
the harmony therewith reminds one of the duty
(G, Em, D, C)
isn't it to serve true time with our song?
(Bm, C, D, G)


 

Doing Time

    Capo: 4


Imprisoned in my body (Am)
I have to do my time (Em)
They say penance and detachment (G)
thus my heart will say no mine (C)

This I alone shall walk and go (Dm)
with others, not too late (C Am)
let the open doors show (F G Am Dm)
freedom going is the faith (F E)


The way to be, the game is set (Am Dm G)
wasn't it concluded that its known by Time? (Em F Am)
I 'll always believe and can not forget (Dm C F)
to go for life together makes it rhyme (G7 C)

I do time alone together (Am )
miss the truth untill I know (Em)
till I paid for all bad whether (G)
I do like it or don't know (C)

Whats a person in His time? (Dm)
whats a soul to the wherever (C Am)
what is conscious of all that (F G Am Dm)
what remembers forgets never? (F E)

(chorus)

I do time, I learnt to wait (Am )
and wait to find my way (Em)
not in making so or trying (G)
it'll come to me and say (C)

I wont kill what's life, nor lie (Dm)
I won't' steal and not betray (C Am)
that dream is the reality (F G Am Dm)
I'll go for it at every day (F E)


 

The Machine

Capotasto I

A machine I have, a machine I know (E)
and doubtful is the meaning of my soul
(F E)
A machine I do a machine I follow
(E)
but the user, driver how's he whole?
(F E)

Looking happy at a distance over
(Am Fdim7 E)
information we compute and send
(Dm7 E)
virtual together thus we do cover
(Am E Fdim7)
and can even find that way a friend
(F E)

Its a solution the machine
(Dm Am Fdim7)
it tells us the time
(Fdim7 E )
but is that the order of our dream
(F E Dm)
or is it the order not so fine
(F E Am)

The godhead has to take His form (Dm Am Fdim7)
form and rhyme
(Fdim7 E)
the way it points out and tells us why
(F E Dm)
the why it points out and tells us how.
(F E Am)
O Prophet return to flesh and blood (Dm F Am)
O sage become our nearest friend
(Dm Am)
O people hope that we've understood
(F Am Dm)
how to the mechanical find our end
(Dm7 E)

*

Please don't take it all that serious
(E)
the errors and betrayal of the dream
(F E)
we do love to make and show delirious
(E)
how the machine does make us seem
(F E)

we play the game invented looking odd
(Am Fdim7 E)
not our faces but still real
(Dm7 E)
I sincerely hope that we will blame not
(Am E Fdim7)
as from that oddness we expect to heal
(F E)

admitted we are fools not staying
(DmAm Fdim7)
I maybe the greatest of them all
(Fdim7 E)
but who cares if we are just playing
(F E Fdim7 )
aren't we wise thus why a fall?
(F E Am)

chorus
