The World is Not Just Eye Candy

LILY

8-bar instrumental intro

V1 The world is not just eye candy there to make you feel good

You need to act more manly love the world like you should

BR1 Works of god and works of man are

Not comp’rable in any way

God has made the mighty river

While man puts the dam in the way

[BACH CHORUS] we should not presume

To know what we seek

We think we are smart

We think we are chic

It’s not ours by right

We have no free pass

No destiny to take it all

[GROOVE] A higher purpose

Not made by God just for our pleasure

A greater mission

To be the guardians of nature

Responsibility

To keep the future safe and healthy

God made the world for all

Not just you

V2 and what did you think would happen after we raped the earth?

Do you think it’s repaired by magic we can’t force a re-birth

[BR2 Grieg] the milky way is not our plaything

Sparkling above the great peak

Works of god made by one king

Not owned by nations potent or weak

BR [minor] the oak and the ash

Exploited for cash

Our trees were cut down

So we could build towns

we will not stand by

and just say goodbye

We need to act

they need our support

RIFF] We just gotta listen

The world is talking to us daily

You’re falling for fiction

If you believe the rubbish gaily

You just gotta listen

the world is reminding us politely

The message not hidden

It’s in our faces nightly

Oooh … yeah …

Aaahs at end over guitar solo
