People C G Bringing it to ya with Sister Golden Hair Surprise on the road Bb C We be passing through Montana these days, brah G Bb Oh, but we in Idaho right now, man C We been postin' up on the side of the river G Bb With a good fireplace and a marshmallow bag C And our nachos, and our fudge shop, deluxe graham crackers G Bb C You know, and our bottle of water and our Santitas chips G Bb C Yo, we got Nalu on the wiener [Hook] G Bb C It all starts to make sense G Bb C It all starts to make sense G Bb C With all these omens, we've been callin' it in G Bb C It all starts to make sense [Verse 1] G Bb All my thoughts and particularly my prayers C Have not forgotten the indigenous G Bb C For the Western man's been workin' so hard against us G With his Western medicine Bb C And his land management and his fences, uh huh G Bb Or the way he protects and the way he preserves C Never the way he neglects the people who came first G Bb C Ya know, the same ones that he massacred G Bb C It all starts to make sense G Bb C Where we're goin', where we're at, and where we've been, uh huh G Bb C It all starts to make sense [Verse 2] G Bb Well, creator, the behavior C G Of the collective youth definitely seems to be in favor Bb C Of the western man's invasion G See him pumpin' fear like an IV Bb Spreadin' it like a disease C And all the while building a clueless army G Bb Of God-fearing youth with no knowledge of the truth C And their selfishness is so ugly G Bb C And it all starts to make sense G Bb C Who we gotta talk to if we wanna survive this mess G Bb C It all starts to make sense [Verse 3] G Bb Itty-bitty economies based on geography C Fueled by spectators and their money G Bb C And their need for things that will not last G Bb C So go on, build a hotel, a gift shop in the wilderness, haha G Bb Makin' a profit, capitalizin' on it C And all the while trampling on everything that is sacred G Bb C And it all starts to make sense G Bb C Why the Western man destroys things he doesn't understand, uh huh G Bb C It all starts to make sense G Bb C All these patterns and wasteful destructive practices [Verse 4] G Ab Livin' like a third world country inside this country C Forgive the government that puts the people in poverty G Ab And it bothers me when the people are goin' hungry C And corporate companies have got their cupboards full of groceries G Ab It's disgusting how you can do nothing C And complain about the situation in which you're living G Bb C And it all starts to make sense G Ab C They're vultures of culture and they're pickin' on all my friends, uh huh G Bb C It all starts to make sense G Bb C Oh, indigenous imprisonment, uh huh [Verse 5] G Bb Well I dedicate my life to the people who need the light C Help them rise above the scam on the land and their lives G Bb And I'm cuttin' like a knife, all the lies by the slice C Independent of this democracy is really worth the bite G Bb My request in reasonable, a tribe undefeatable C Ambition to keep movin' toward solutions that are feasible G Bb It's unbelievable, all the slow-moving people C And they could care less, just as long as they are comfortable G Bb It's unforgivable, because the conditions now are critical C And whether or not you're ready, we are now approachin' a pinnacle G Bb It's difficult to say exactly what to do C But the change begins with me and I reflect it back to you G Bb C And you and you and you G Bb C Come on, man, make the movement move (Yeah) G Bb C Make the movement move (Yeah) [Hook] G Bb C It all starts to make sense G Bb C It all starts to make sense G Bb C With all these omens and the moon phase we're in G Bb C It all starts to make sense [Verse 5 reprise] G Bb Well I dedicate my life to the people who need the light C Help them rise above the scam on the land and their lives G Bb And I'm cuttin' like a knife, all the lies by the slice C Independent of this democracy is really worth the bite G Bb My request in reasonable, a tribe undefeatable C Ambition to keep movin' toward solutions that are feasible G Bb It's unbelievable, all the slow-moving people C And they could care less, just as long as they are comfortable G Bb It's unforgivable, because the conditions now are critical C And whether or not you're ready, we are now approachin' a pinnacle G Bb It's difficult to say exactly what to do C But the change begins with me and I reflect it back to you G Bb C And you and you and you G Bb C Come on, man, make the movement move (Yeah) G Bb C Make the movement move (Yeah) G Bb C Make the movement move (Yeah) G Bb C Make the movement move (Yeah) [Outro] G Ab C It all starts to make sense G Ab C It all starts to make sense G Ab C It all starts to make sense G Ab C It all starts to make sense (the change begins with me and I reflect it back to you) G Ab C It all starts to make sense (the change begins with me and I reflect it back to you) G Ab C It all starts to make sense (the change begins with me and I reflect it back to you) G Ab C It all starts to make sense G Ab C It all starts to make sense
