In the movement, In the nights of dead and dance
Am
In the movement, When I’m offering out my hand
C
In the movement, I don’t need you to pretend
Am
In the movement, All I ask for is a friend
F
In the movement, Drugs and dance and spirits whirl
Em
In the movement. As we flee our father’s world
Dm Em
At the crossroads so it goes we
F
Need a love you cannot show me
C
In the movement, Loa live within our hands
Am
In the movement, Our voodoo opens other lands
C
In the movement, Drugs and dance and spirits whirl
Am
In the movement, And we reject our father’s world
F
In the movement, Come and dance through the night
Em
In the movement, Ridden by the blinding light
Dm Em
At the crossroads and the barrow
F
We have come to court the shadow
(COUNTERPOINT:)
[Can’t you reach for me?
Can’t you reach for me?
The burdens I bear that you never do see
If you’d just please help me]
C
My friends look around at this world that you’ve known
C
The leeches are sucking you dry to the bone
F
The zombies are letting it all get away
F
So vote for our Doll and throw it away
C
You don’t need a master, no government who
C
Will take all you’ve earned, tell you what to do
F
Our Doll will not lead you, he’ll not bleed you dry
F
Nor bribe nor coerce nor fail you nor lie
C
There’s coming a time not so far from right now
C
When your rights will be gone and they’ll make you bow down
F
We stand at the crossroads and offer a way
F
To ecstasy, freedom, a path, a new day
C
This welfare of zombies is come to an end
F
Your people, your children are out of their heads
C
They’ve left you for sex, drugs, drums and the dead
F
Come now and join us, come join us my friends!
C G
Over years Jasper’s taken
Am
Words and instrumentations
G
From the music he channels night and day
C G
And he’s used them to make
Am
A new song he can play
G
To the crowd as he tries to communicate
