G Bb C G Bb
Coming straight to ya, Vultures of Culture
C
September 2009
G Bb
This is Medicine For the 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]
