Unconscious Want to Need
"Unconsicous Want To Need" (chords)
Tyler McLaughlin
plenty years ago
many people died
they were search'n for gold
some died filthy rich
but many more died with the itch
that never once got scratched
and left them cold
but to think for just a minute
that them rich ones had it good
that they were more better off
or that they were more understood
would be an error on our part
because them fools didn't have no heart
and in the end they'd deal with robin hood
oh there is a thing
and it makes some people sing
and it makes some people scream
but it turns people mean
it loves to feed
and it's not afraid to bleed
no it doesn't have no shame
but it does have a name
and it's called greed
it's an unconscious want to need
awe to take more than you get
and then throw a hissy fit
awe greed
just the other day
29 men died
they were digg'n for coal
in a west virginia mine
they left their families far behind
but them executives they're not out
in the cold
but to think just for a minute
that them big wigs got it made
because they got their bonus checks
and their mercedes in the shade
fade out 10 more years
and see them living in their fears
because they too
will get paid
oh there is a thing
and it makes some people sing
and it makes some people scream
but it turns people mean
it loves to feed
and it's not afraid to bleed
no it doesn't have no shame
but it does have a name
and it's called greed
it's an unconscious want to need
awe to take more than you get
and then throw a hissy fit
awe greed
greed will make you blind
it'll make itself so hard to find
it'll rust your heart and it will
burn up your mind
it don't care about out life
no it will kill it don't give a damn
it feeds on fear and on foreign land
it'll stop at nothing it loves
to push and shove
but there's one thing that will defeat it
it's called pure love
and there is a thing
and it makes some people sing
and it makes some people scream
but it turns people mean
it loves to feed
and it ain't afraid to bleed
no it doesn't have no shame
but it does have a name
Toward You
"Toward You" (chords)
Tyler McLaughlin
You've been telling me
For a while now in seems
I should do much better
with my dreams
Well it's true
Sometimes I don't hear you
But when I do
And I see through
Even when it's scary too
Well then I grow
A little slow
But it's
Definitely toward you
Toward you
I see
My life
Toward you
I run
and I find
I find me
I find us
I find peace
And I find trust
Toward you
I find
Love
You take one, I'll take one
She said no you take both
And I'll take none
And then we laughed
And I strummed
And wrote these words while she hummed
And then we kissed
A little kiss
Even though at first we missed
Well I grow
It's a little slow
But it's
Definitely toward you
Toward you
I see
My life
Toward you
I run
and I find
I find me
I find us
I find peace
And I find trust
Toward you
I find
Love

travel'n east lookn for
another place, another time, another war
gonna unload all our stuff
set it out, configure it and blow things up
and we'll leave behind a trail of tears
full of dust & blood that'll last a thousand years
but there's a time bomb tick'n in our ears
tick-tock'n towards our deepest fears
so many folks get their daily news
fed to them from a certain point of view
but mr greedy media empire you'd better check in
cause no matter the size of your lies the truth will always win
oh its time for a revolution
an evolution
it is time for change
a revolution
let's revolt and let's rearrange
for an
evolution
revolution

evolution
revolution
here we are again 4 more years have gone by
2012 is here and we'll elect another guy
but not before we spend millions of bucks
on political propaganda deluxe
and they'll fight and call each other all names
and they'll talk about peace while building pawns
to play
in their
war games
oh it's time for a revolution.
an evolution
it is time for change
a revolution
lets revolt and lets rearrange
for an

plum full of youth
powered by truth

well we ain't got a clue
it's time we move into
an evolution
it is time for change
a revolution
lets revolt and lets rearrange
for an
evolution

Everything Has Meaning
"Everything Has Meaning" (chords)
Yesterday a little brown guy
Flew his red kite up in the dark sky
A bluebird crashed into
A red thing up on a string
Right where he flew
And at that very moment
When the bluebird hit the ground
well the boy went running to it
And the earth made a sound
It went Boom Crash Bang
oh Lightning struck the spot
In the exact location where the boy was now not
Everything oh everything
Has meaning inside
that red thing up on the string
that bluebird that did his thing
So that little boy did not get fried
Years ago in a dark cold time
In a damp cool space
Miles down a black coal mine
An old man and his group of ten
Steady pulled that carbon from the earth within
and One day the faultline shifted
And those walls came crumbling down
but The old man stopped and lifted
A beam so those 10 could get around
it went Tumble crumble crunch
The earth it fell apart
But those ten were topside and alive
Because of that old mans good heart
and Everything oh everything
Has meaning inside
Those ten saw sun again
When that old man died for them
And he did and he lost his pride
Over time that man turned to soil
And years later the earth began to boil
Then one day she did explode
And she spit him with her load
His ashes fell onto the land
And the rain soon mixed him up into the sand
Then from him and a seed grew a tree
And together they lived & bound gracefully
One fed the other like a child from its mother
They grew tall, they lived long
and They nurtured one another
They realized that they'd become a Mullberry tree
And that they were the living home of a bluebird family
And those bluebirds lived off that mullberry tree
That that old man helped make when he died so couragiously
And his son had a son who had a son of his own, who had a son
that had a son, who built a happy home
And in that home there was a little guy
and he loved to fly his kite all up in the sky
And everything oh everything
has meaning inside
that boy flew his kite again
and he made a bluebird friend
that has a little bit of his family inside
Human Kind
"Human Kind" (chords)
Tyler McLaughlin
Well there used to be time when it was accepted
a different place for all different folk.
White folk, black folk, yellow folk, different folk -
everywhere you'd go it'd seem like there's a different door.
not no more...
Well don't you even start to think I'm that naive,
but I'm an optimist and I do believe that -
This dream we all conceive
well in time we can achieve...
One race one kind
We’ve all got Gods Face,
we got Gods Mind,
Human kind... Human kind.
Well as we sit here today,
the problem ain't gone away.
You still got kids and they've got friends who've got kin,
who don't like another man just cause the color of his skin.
Why don't we just reveal,
what too many conceal.
Show true kindness to appeal -
to those who don't know for real...
That we're all
One race one kind
We’ve all got Gods Face,
we got Gods Mind,
Human kind... Human kind.
