The Who Sell Out

Magic Bus (Take 6)

Me performing a cover of 'Hello Goodbye' by the Beatles off the Magical mystery Tour album.  The roots to this one apparently came when he and his friend Alistair Taylor were having a drink up in his room and they were doodling around on the piano.  Paul told him to shout out the opposite of whatever he was shouting while they were playing...up, down, black, white, yes, no, etc....until it reportedly got a little out of hand and they started throwing swear words into the mix, Alistair finally falling off the piano laughing!  He kept the lyrics clean in the final product, however and turned out a great one in the end.

Your Mouth (Take 1)

Text:
[Verse 1 – Rap]
You silence the press, you weaponize the truth,
History repeats, open eyes of the youth.
1933, déjà vu in disguise,
What you normalize now will be freedom’s demise.

Fear is the weapon, power the prize,
Marching through cities with fire in their eyes.
Call it protection, but it’s chains on the street,
If we don’t resist now, we’ll bow in defeat.

[Pre-Chorus – Spoken/Rapped]
Don’t tell me “it can’t happen here” —
The echo of the past is crystal clear.

[Chorus – Screamed]
FREEDOM! — you can’t take it away,
We’ll fight, we’ll bleed, we won’t obey!
If you crush the voice, the silence will scream,
We are the nightmare inside your dream!

(Guitar-Solo)

[Verse 2 – Rap]
Militarized streets, against your own kind,
Divide us with hate, intoxicate the mind.
You point to the “other,” but the truth is revealed:
The enemy’s the system that refuses to heal.

From Berlin to DC, the pattern’s the same,
Leaders play puppets in a dangerous game.
Don’t wait ‘til the sirens ring through your door,
Freedom once lost doesn’t come back anymore.

[Bridge – Half sung, half screamed]
Stand tall, fists high, we won’t break, we won’t hide,
Your lies are a fire — but the truth won’t die!

(Guitar-Solo)

[Chorus – Screamed]
FREEDOM! — you can’t take it away,
We’ll fight, we’ll bleed, we won’t obey!
If you crush the voice, the silence will scream,
We are the nightmare inside your dream!

[Outro – Whisper/Rap]
Watch it burn...
If we don’t rise now, tomorrow’s our turn.
