[Verse]
E       
    Once I read a book 

G
  And this is what it said 

A                    
  If your music has a beat 

E                             
Then you're gonna wind up dead 

                                 G
It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or not

        A                           E
If it's syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot 

    E                     G      
And this book was called ‘Ha You’re Gonna Burn 

    A                     E
And in the second chapter I went on to learn 
[Chorus]
E         G
Take two houseplants 

    A               E
And put them to the test 

                          G
Set them both in front of speakers 

            A            E
And let the music do the rest

                       G
The first one you play Mozart

             A           E
Or something lovely like that 

                             G             A           
The second one you play that Petra or that Megadeath

N.C.                                           E        
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is 
[Verse]
     E            G
So I took my two houseplants

      A               E
And I put them to the test 

                          G
Set them both in front of speakers 

           A            E
To let the music do the rest 

                G
I powered up my Pioneers 

   A             E
To let the music roar 

    E              G
But twenty minutes later 

          A              E     N.C.
Someone's knocking at my door 

E
  I opened up my door 

G
  And there my neighbor stood 

         A
He said,    man I'd like to get some sleep

E
If you think I could

        E              G
I said, man, can't you see here 

         A                       E
I've got this moral dilemma that I got to get clear 

         E
He said, what kind of moral dilemma 

          G                   
Could you have at this time of night 

           A
That could make me so angry 

       E 
That I just want to fight 

     E                   G
So I pointed to the page in that open book 

           A
That had a picture of a potted plant 

            E
And I said, Go have a look
And he read [Chorus]
E         G
Take two houseplants 

    A               E
And put them to the test 

                          G
Set them both in front of speakers 

            A            E
And let the music do the rest

                       G
The first one you play Mozart

             A           E
Or something lovely like that 

                             G             A           
The second one you play that Petra or that Megadeath

N.C.                                           E        
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is 
[Verse]
E
 First of all he said, 

       G
That's Wagner that you're playing 

     A
I've never heard of Petra 

          E
And isn't Megadeath all dead 

    E           G              
And secondly, emphatically

   A                    E
He asked me, what's the sense 

   E                G 
Of hanging out with houseplants when, hey,

       A                E
I live right across the fence
N.C. And I thought to myself, you know, that's a good point [Chorus]
     E           G
So I took my two houseplants

      A                  E
And I put them both back outside 

    E         G
And me and my neighbor 

         A              E
Well, we went out for a drive 

   E            G
We talked about all the things 

     A             E         
That really matter most 

     E                 G                     
Like life and love and happiness 

    A             E         E  G  A  E         
And then the Holy Ghost 

    E          G
And now my two houseplants 

     A              E
They sit out in the sun 

    E         G
But as for my neighbor 

         A              E
Well our friendship has become 

  E            G
A meaningful relationship 

       A                  E
That's headed straight to heaven 
[Outro]
    E
But as for now

   G                                A
We like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline 

                   E
Cranked to eleven!
