Original in F Capo +1
Note: This ain't capo'd in their acoustic version
Impressive
I'll leave that torturous F transcription to others
Friggin' hurts just lookin' at it - Owie


Aprapos of nothing whatsoever . . .

Thus ends the 4th turning of the Millenial saeculum
Defined by a great recession, a war on terror, and a plandemic
We next enter the 1st turning of the new saeculum
As the current Homeland generation (Gen Z)
Prepares for their stand
Hoping to hand the reign-reins to a next generation of sons and daughters
Fearing liberty is lost, their fate entirely in the hands of the elite
Under their feet
Beneath the soul drowning roar of global corporations and other supervillains
All with a growing understanding that failure to launch
Could be the doom of mankind
Whether we tinker ourselves into unmaking
Or we find ourselves an innocent bystander
When the universe goes after this marble
This single thread
So . . .
Make sure to take lots of pills 'gainst mosquito death
Just like elder Cantrell had to do in Vietnam
(That pill was a version of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ))

Aprapos of nothing whatsoever . . .

JC's other twist on things
Learned this song in honor of the day our accidental rooster met his end
Accidental 'cause we didn't really want a rooster, just chickens
Anywaze, one dank afternoon . . .
They who shall not be named let that poor rooster git outta the breakfast barn
Whereby 2 hounds horrifically bisected said rooster
Sadly, neither half survived the procedure
(LairSecCom ID: Operation Rooster Splits)

Really, total mishap fer sure, swearsies
