one thing that i can depend on
verse 1:
As
try to describe it to the limit of my ability
Gs
it's there for a second then it's given up what it used to be
Ds
contained in music somehow more than just around us
this inspirations coming and twisting things around us
As
you always know that it's going to have to go
Gs
you always know you'll be back in the cold
Ds
point of departure sublimated in a song
it's always coming to give me that hope for just a seconb
then it's gone, but!
repeat chorus
As
static pulse inside the music bringing us escape
Gs
it's always temporary changing nothing in it's wake
Ds
just a second when we're leaving all this shit behind
just a second but it's leaving just this much in mind
As
to resist despair, that second makes you see...
Gs
to resist despair, because you can't change everything
Ds
to resist despair, in this world is what it is to be free
repeat chorus
A
wake up turn my box on
D A
bust the shade let the sun in
D A
box in hand music on my side
skankin' to the rhythm of the music by my side

Chorus
Ska rhythm! Down-stokes are muted, and up-strokes
are played. If you don't know how to play Ska rhythm
right, then it's really hard to make this song sound
right, sorry.

[Chorus]
Sound system gonna bring me back up
One thing that I can depend on
Try to describe to the limit of my ability:
Its there for a second
Then it's given up what it used to be
Contained in my music somehow more than just sound
This inspiration coming and twisting things around
Because you always know that its gonna have to go
You always know that you'll be back in the cold.
Point of depatrure sublimated in a song
Its always coming to give me that hope for just a second
Then its gone but!
[Chorus]
Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape
Its always temporary changing nothing in its wake
Just a second where were leaving all this shit behind
Just a second but its leaving just this much in mind:
To resist despair that second makes you see
To resist despair because you cant change everything
To resist despair in this world is what it is to be free
[Chorus]
Wake up turn my box on
Bust the shade let the sun in
times getting tougher bout time to start runnin
Box in my hand music by my side
Skanking to the rhythm of the music by my side
