 Lyrics/Song Structure:
 =====================
 ---> Play Riff 1a (x2)
 ---> Play Riff 1b over:
 This song started as a rant against haters
 But that'd be giving into the instigators
 There's one thing I'd like to pull off
 When Someone steps to me all I'd do is just scoff
 You can't burn me
 You can't burn me
 ---> Play Riff 2 over:
 The same force that flows through every circuit
 The juice that's spent every time you work it
 Everylife force is based on this simplicity
 The soul that you have is elec...
 ---> Play Riff 3a over:
 ..tricity
 You can't avoid that
 Evolution is fact
 We're all from the same Lucy
 Despite differences, you see
 ---> Play Bridge (x1)
 ---> Play Riff 1b over:
 I'm in disbelief at what people will believe
 All along I thought we had our hearts on our shirtsleeves
 If one thing I can say as a piece of advice
 Don't believe it till you see it, then see it twice
 It's so funny
 It's so funny
 ---> Play Riff 2 over:
 The same force that flows through every circuit
 The juice that's spent every time you work it
 Everylife force is based on this simplicity
 The soul that you have is elec...
 ---> Play Riff 3a over:
 ..tricity
 You can't avoid that
 Evolution is fact
 We're all from the same Lucy
 Despite differences, you see
 I call out for unity
 In every province and city
 What you think we've been saying
 Since we first started
 ---> Play "E5" over:
 playing
