Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,

Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




1/


[C]How can we live in a[G] society,


When its[F] not safe to leave your [C] home,


There's brain-dead stupid [F]man-iacs,


[G]Ru-in-ing ou-r[C] liv-es.

Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




2/


[C]Its hard enough to[G] lose loved ones,


To[F] natural dis-asters and[C] wars,


But when it is [G]a-void-able,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the [C]law.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,

3/


[C]Lock e'm up,and[F] take e'm down,


[G]Make our stre-ets [C]safe,


Stop those who[F] o-ffend u-s,


So[C] we can get[G] respect once[C] mo-re.

4/


[C]There's children getting kidnapped[G] every-day,


To[F] fuel the vile pae-do-phile[C] rings,


[F]Soldiers getting shot ar[C]ound the world,


Just[G] to protect our [C]lives.




Chorus

[F]Bra-in-wash-ed b-y a[C] fe-w,


[F]Life is sacred and[C] should be saved,


To[G] make the world a-[C]new.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




6/


[C]This song could go on for[G] ever-more,


But[F] if you ge-t the [C]point,


[F]Prot-ect all the things you[C] value in life,


To[G] bring u-s a-ll wor-ld [C]pea-ce.

hi all i was wondering ,all our songs posted on here and links to recordings,how come we never get any promotional offers for any of our songs?????i know we enjoy each others work but is that the be and end all of it????

hi phil i think you need a sense of humour,a knack to make a song rhyme or understood and create a sense of enjoyment in it for yourself and those reading or listening to it,and if you put a bit of yourself in it ,it just gives it a bit of character,thats just my opinion and how i look at my songwriting....stay cool

hi russell i had an idea of taping the drum/percussion off the organ and somehow mixing it as i recorded,but i'm not sure if it would work cause you'd have to get the rythmn right to the song i'd be recording ,when i've got my guitar and amp upstairs and the organ downstairs,i know the solution is to bring my guitar down  but there'd be too much background interference with the family in the other room as you can tell with my other recordings ,so i'm going to play each song on my accoustic with the organ then tape the rythmn ,and play it back on a cassettte player whilst i'm recording,i'll give it a try but have to see how it turns out....stay cool

by[a] candle-light ,the[e] settings[a] fine.

2/[a]now heaven is the place,we[d] all have to go,
but[a] i'm in heaven ,right[e] here on earth,
[a]with our love it will[d] always b-e,
[a]heavenly nights and[e] sun kissed[a] days.

chorus
[a]so[d] play our song,[a]right out loud,
[d]dancing ti-ll we [e]s-ee the dawn,
em[a]bracing every[d] moment in our lives,
by[a] candle-light ,the[e] settings[a] fine.

3/[a]a love like ours,is[d] hard to find,
[a]once in a life-time,[e]clouds your mind,
[a]playing hard,to[d] keep the magic there,
[a]bonding our hearts,till the[e] end of[a] time.

chorus
