CWell this is real talk
This is non stC7op
It is loFoped now tongueC and miGnd.
Played off the sideCwalk,
straight to your booC7mbox,
how it traFvels from ear to mCemorGy.
Well this is medCicine,
there's a mesC7sage within,
and eachF will find it iGn their own timCe
Riff
wCell this is music, thisC7 is how I use it
It makesF you move and moCve the mGovements
this is how I foCcus, knowing it's not hoC7peless
but it sFure starts with me and eCnds on aG whole note
musical Cmedicine, this iC7s my healing
for pastF and present future thinGgs to coCme
Riff
CI see people stressin' oC7ver space and possessions
out of fFear and a need for visuaCl aids of our abGundance
give me Cexamples or someC7thing tangible
something I can Fget my hands on and findC real meGaning
where is the medCicine? well I'veC7 been searching
and I suFppose each will find theGir own kCind
Riff
Cwell everything's at stake, it mC7akes it hard to concentrate
and there are meFn who see a war and see Ca paycheGck
Such difCferent programming, to lC7ive so fearfully
terror this and Fterror that terrCible reaGlity
there is no mediCcine on the teleC7vision
so turn Fit off and turn yourselfG aroCund
Riff
Cand let's just face it, C7the world's fuckin' racist
even the most peFaceful of us gets caughtC in the Gtrend
to live Ccohesively is alC7most a fantasy
and we ought to Fknow it starts with humbCling ourG egos
what is the mediCcine for culturaC7l woundin'?
has it's momentsF has it's melodiGes haCs it's time
Riff
CWell I was listening,
to the outgoing seC7ason
about cliFmate change and some of the rCeasGons,
when the sky opeCned, like I'd been hopC7e'n
and there came horFses by the thCou
-
sanGds and there was thuCnder on their tongues and ligC7htning on their minds and they sinFging this old melGodyfCrom some other time
