This song has a super simple structure, theoretically anyone can play it and even an AI could do it well. But it can’t, it never will. This kind of music is called soul! Music is far more than the sum of its parts.

Ich hab mir die Mühe gemacht
der Menschheit und mir noch mal eine Chance zugegeben. Es gibt so schöne Musik, so große Kunst, so liebevolle hilfsbereite Communitys. Gute Menschen, überall auf der Welt. Aber im Großen und Ganzen überwiegt Krieg, Hass und Ausgrenzung. Darauf ein Lied!
Have you ever seen Reverend Elvis and the Undead Syncopators live on stage?
If you have, you know it’s a life-changing experience. We always wondered why we were met with so much fear from promoters and especially festival organizers. You just have to keep still, it only hurts a bit at first, then you want to do it again and again.
It’s an anarchist tradition – playing banjo and hunting yuppies
Am C G Am
Oh, I’m a good old rebel, Now that’s just what I am
C Am
And for this Yankee nation, I do no give a damn.
C Am
I’m glad I fought again ‘er, I only wish we’d won
C G Am
I ain’t asked any pardon, For anything I’ve done.
Am C G Am
I hates the Yuppie nation, And everything they do
C Am
I hates the reunification, cause simply it’s not true.
C Am
I hates the obscene riches, ‘Tis dripping with our blood
C G Am
I hates the three striped banner, And fought it all I could.
Am C G Am
They killed 10.000 children, men and women too
C Am
They live at of back of people, starvation leaves them cold
C Am
they mock their victims and humiliate them too
C G Am
I killed a chance of Yankees, And I’d like to kill some more.
Am C G Am
I can’t take up my riffle, And fight ’em now no more
C Am
But I ain’t goin’ to love ’em, Now that is certain sure
C Am
And I don’t want no pardon, For what I was and am
C G Am
I won’t be reunited, And I do not give a damn
