Mischief Brew – On Freedom A Carol (Guitar)

     B               A                 B             A
The state is just a baby spoiled with lollipops and bubblegum

     B             A                B       A       F#
And it will never give you some unless you take it away

     B               A              B                      A
The state is just a royal brat who wants you to give, but won’t give back

 B                A                 B     A        F#
Builds a fortress in the hills and never comes to play

     E                 B            F#                   B
You toil to send some water up, he sends you down with drops

     E                B                  F#              B
His bully thugs will pound you down and spin you like a top

   E             B               F#               B
A button war, a color war, he’s captured all the flags

     E           B

B         A      B      A
olly-olly-oxen-free!

B         A      B      A
olly-olly-oxen-free!

     B             A             B               A
The president’s a motley mix of ruling parties’ politics

   B              A              B        A       F#
A trickster in a two-faced mask who entertains us all

     B            A            B                 A
The company will lend a hand, pull his strings, make him dance

B                A                  B    A       F#
Strike the bell! Time to stand, for pyramids to fall

    E                B              F#              B
So cast your ballot in the box like money down the aisle

     E               B                    F#              B
The bankers and the barons have been the killers all the while

    E          B              F#               B

     E               B
