Two Fires Burning

There're 2 fires burning bright on the horizon
They've been burning there for many a darkened year
Burning on through many an Indian mother's heartache
On through many an Irish mother's tears
A our sons and our daughters have been taken
When for their peoples' freedom they did stand
When the British came to force upon us their way
When America did rob you of your land
Cho. "Tiocfaidh ár lá" say the IRA,
"Hoka Hey!" say the warriors of the Sioux
Both peoples' council fires burn bright into the night
As the common fight for freedom binds the two
My father's father worked the fields of Ireland
While yours lived on the sweet Dakota plain
We've been bound together by the years of suffering,
Centuries of poverty and pain
But James Connelly's spirit still is strong in Belfast
Crazy Horse inspires Wounded Knee
If our children are 'ere to live in freedom
Then warriors and rebels we must be (Cho.)
Mitakuye Oyasin

Verse: | G | C | G | C | G | Bm/F# | F | D |
Who knew simply breathing could ever be so hard?
How much have I been damaged, how much have I been scarred?
Cho | Am | Bm | Am7 | Bm | Am | Bm | C | D |
Will there ever be some normalcy, 98.6?
Will I pull up my socks, once more rock,
On the other side of this
The horror of what’s before me, the shame of what I’ve done
The fear that I’ve infected the lives of anyone
My child, my family, my lover, my friend
May I not infect you. May I see you smile again (Cho.)
Br: | F | F | D | D | F | F | D | D |
Is it really too much to ask?
My friend, please put on your mask!
Out leaders have betrayed us. Sycophants and trolls
Huddled here together, we’re trying to save our souls.
The Orange One’s delusional, the Loser in Chief
Say his name – ‘George Floyd!”
Who’s streets? “Our streets!’
Cho 2
Will we ever see some normalcy, 98.6
Pull up your socks, for we must rock
On the other side of this

Homo Sapien

I’m a homo sapien! That’s me alright.
Opposing thumbs, loaded guns, its fight and flight
Invasive species, that’s me. That’s what I am
I spell M.A.N. ‘Man’.
Verse:
Bible says God made me. But some don’t believe
What’s up with that, yo! What about Adam and Eve!
Ever since Eve took the apple and gave Adam a taste
I soiled my drawers, fouled my nest, laid Paradise to waste (Cho)
‘Environment Disaster’, ‘Global Warming’ what a joke!
Who cares if half of California goes up in smoke!
I’m saving for a ticket with Elon and Jeff to Mars!
This planet is SO beat, let’s go fuss up the stars! (Cho)
