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
AE
If it's syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot
EG
And this book was called ‘Ha You’re Gonna Burn
AE
And in the second chapter I went on to learn
EG
Taske two houseplants
AE
And put them to the test
G
Set them both in front of speakers
AE
And let the music do the rest
G
The first one you play Mozart
AE
Or something lovelqy like that
GA
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.
EG
So I took my two houseplants
AE
And I put them to the test
G
Set them both in front of speakers
AE
To let the music do the rest
G
I powered up my Pioneers
AE
To let the music roar
EG
But twenty minutes later
AE
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
EG
I said, Man, can't you see here
AE
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
EG
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
EG
Take two houseplants
AE
And put them to the test
G
Set them both in front of speakers
AE
And let the music do the rest
G
The first one you play Mozart
AE
Or something lovely like that
GA
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.
E
First of all he said,
G
That's Vager that you're playing
A
I've never heard of Petra
E
And isn't megaDeth all dead
EGA
And secondly, emphatically, He asked me,
G
"What's the sense of hanging out with houseplants when, hey,
AE
I live right across the fence
And I thought to myself
You know, that's a good point
EG
So I took my two houseplants, and
AE
I put them both back outside
EG
And me and my neighbor
AE
Well, we went out for a drive
E
We talked about all the things
G
That really matter most
A
Like life and love and happiness
E
And then the Holy Ghost
EG
And now my two houseplants
AE
They sit out in the sun
EG
But as for my neighbor
AE
Well our friendship has become
EGA meaningful relationship
AE
That's headed straight to heavenn
E
But as for now
GA
We like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline
E
Cranked to eleven!
