Gratitude And Thanks by Mischief Brew
Gratitude And Thanks
G C
I asked a student of higher schooling
G D
He said he didn’t care
G C
When I asked about the sixties
G D
They simply said long hair
G C
Saw a child getting programmed
G D
Getting programmed when she wakes
G C
And I heard a raving elder
G D
Cursing 20 years too late
Em Am C
Oh how the bastards screwed me
D G C D
Son, life’s too short to wait
Am
And then the students
Bm C
Of higher schooling
D G C D
Hid more pills inside his plate
G C D
So I’d like to send gratitude
And thanks
G C
To those who had the courage
D
To defy the mighty ranks
C
Send it to the students
G
Who waved the banners
D
Who held flowers up to the tanks
C
And to the ones who are
G
Still fighting
D
Yes all my gratitude
G C G D G C G D
And all my thanks
G C
So as you sit baked and hammered
G D
So grateful to be dead
G C
Saying freedom’s here to chill out
G D
So sit and rest your head
G
Think of those who fought
C
For your right
G D
The path you walk, they paved
G C
And those who fought for their right
G D
To carry until today
G C
When it was they who fed the hungry,
G D
Stormed the pentagon for peace
G C
While the army rounded strangers up
G D
made them instant police
G C
They who made a union,
G
dodged the draft,
D
and filled the jails
G C
And spread a message of unity
G D
Across the nation’s rails
Em
And said we’re destroying
Am C
The house that Man have built
D G C D
Kicking the doors and pulling nails
Am Bm C
And you have the nerve to tell me
D G C D
That everyone has failed
G
No, you should send
C D
Your gratitude and thanks
G C
To those who had the courage
D
To defy the mighty ranks
C
Send it to the students
G
Who waved the banners
D
Who held flowers up to the tanks
C
And to the ones who are
G
Still fighting
D
Yes all my gratitude
Am D Am D C D C D x2
And all my thanks
C
I'd like to send out a
D
Head, help, heart, and hand
G C
To those who had the courage
D
To reach and rise and stand
C
Send it to the lovers
G
And the fighters
D
To those who stood up and still stand
C
Those who unchained their wrist
G
And clenched their fist
D
Both here and in faraway lands
G C G D G C G D

I asked a student of higher schooling
He said he didn't care
When I asked about the sixties
They simply said long hair
Saw a child getting programmed
Getting programmed when she wakes
And I hear a raving elder
Cursing twenty years too late
Oh, how the bastards screwed me
Son, life's too short to win
And then the students of higher schooling
Hid more pills inside his plate
So,
I'd like to
Send gratitude
And thanks
To those who
Had the courage to defy the mighty ranks
Send it to the students who wave the banners
Who held flowers up to the tanks
And to the ones who are still fighting
Yes, all my gratitude
And all my thanks
So as you sit baked and hammered
So grateful to be dead
Said freedom's here to chill out
So sit and rest your head
Think of those who fought for your right
The path you walked, they paved
And those who fought for your right
To carry it until today
Well it was they who fed the hungry
Scorned the Pentagon for peace
While the army rounded strangers up
And made the instant peace
They who made a union die
So try to fill the jails
And spread a message of unity
Across the nation's rails
And said we're destroying the house that Mack built
Kicking down the doors and pulling nails
And you've the nerve to tell me
That everyone has failed
No,
You should send
Your gratitude
And thanks
To those who
Had the courage to defy the mighty ranks
Send it to the students who wave the banners
Who held flowers up to the tanks
And to the ones who are still fighting
Yes, all my gratitude
Yes, all my thanks
I'd like to
Send out a head and a parting hand
To those who had the courage
To reach and rise and stand
Send it to the lovers and the fighters
To those who stood up and still stand
To those who will chain their wrists
And clench their fists
For here and faraway lands
