[Chorus]
Dm
I’m on a permanent holiday,
Dm
I’m going outside to play,
Gm C C#dim
I ain’t gonna slave away, no
Dm
for no corporate Babylon,
Dm
I’m never gonna be a pawn
Gm C C#dim
in their manipulation games.
Dm
I’m taking the reigns
Dm
and breaking the chains, I’m never gonna kneel no way.
Gm C C#dim
My prophet is heaven sent,
Dm
no preacher or president gonna lead I astray,
Gm C C#dim
I’m taking Jah highway home
[Verse 1]
Dm
I’ve got
Dm
my my my...
Gm C C#dim
own path to follow. Don’t know if you’ll overstand,
Dm
I've got
Dm
mymymymymy...
Gm C C#dim
own truth to swallow,
Dm
and if I could you know I would throw my guitar on my back,
pick up the slack
Gm C C#dim
leave here tomorrow.
Dm
But tatat I know that I’m a pawn of Babylon, I got to face the facts,
embrace the axe and
Gm C C#dim
cut these chains of my sorrow.
[Chorus]
Dm
I’m on a permanent holiday,
Dm
I’m going outside to play,
Gm C C#dim
I ain’t gonna slave away, no
Dm
for no corporate Babylon,
Dm
I’m never gonna be a pawn
Gm C C#dim
in their manipulation games.
[Verse 2]
Dm
10,000 years of captivity,
Dm
we must eventua-lly
Gm C C#dim
open up our eyes and see, that they’re manipulating we.
Dm
With so much uncertainty
Dm
and so many mysteries,
Gm C C#dim
why are so few questioning the unnatural state of things.
Dm
It’s a nightmare,
Dm
we’re living in a nightmare, everyone’s living so scared,
Gm C C#dim
they’re virtually unaware
Dm
of this fear that rules their lives,
Dm
occupies, controls their minds,
Gm C C#dim
this fear of bankruptcy, financial impotency.
Dm
It’s money, money, money, money.
Dm
It's all this digital
Gm C C#dim
currency It’s all this
Dm
monopoly money
Dm
that keeps us from ever being
Gm C C#dim
free. Oh oh.
[Bridge]
Gm7 A C#dim Dm D7
And so it seems we’ll be in this prison for life,
Gm7 Eb A
cause if we keep buying then they’ll keep selling the lies,
and so it's up to I n I.
[Solo]
Dm Dm
Gm C C#dim
[Spoken]
N.C.
I won’t be manipulated,
N.C.
mind controlled and inundated,
N.C.
I will seek the revelation,
N.C.
make my life a celebration.
N.C.
I will be the change I’m seeking,
N.C.
manifest the words I’m speaking,
N.C.
I refuse to be imprisoned,
N.C.
I will make my own decisions.
[Chorus]
