The Houseplants Song

Em
G
Once I read a book and this is what it said
A
Em
“If your music has a beat the you’re gunna wind up dead”
Em
G
It doesn’t really matter if it’s Christian or not
A
Em
If it’s syncapted rhythm then your soul is gunna rot
A
Em
And this book was called “HA You’re gunna burn”
A
Em
And in the second chapter I went on to learn
Em
G
A
Em
Take two houseplants and put em to the test
Em
G
A
Em
Set em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest
Em
G
A
Em
The first on you play mozart or something lovely like that
Em
G
A
Em
The second one you play that Petra and that MegaDeth
Em
Doesn’t really matter what kind of rock it is
Em
G
A
Em
So I took my two houseplants and i put them to the test
Em
G
A
Em
Set em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest
Em
G
A
Em
I powered up my Pioneers and let the music roar
Em
G
A
Em
but twenty minutes later someones knocking at my door
Em
G
I opened up my door and there my neighbor stood
A
Em
He said “man I’d like to get some sleep if you think could”
Em
G
I said “man cant you see here
A
Em
I have the moral dilema that i have gotta get clear”
Em
G
And he said “what kind of moral dilema could you have this time of night
A
Em
That could make me so angry that I just wanna fight
Em
So i pointed to the page in that open book
A
Em
That had a picture of a potted plant and I said go have a look
Em
G
A
Em
Take two houseplants and put em to the test
Em
G
A
Em
Set em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest
Em
G
A
Em
The first on you play mozart or something lovely like that
Em
G
A
Em
The second one you play that Petra and that MegaDeth
Em
G
First of all he said that Vogner that you’re playin
A
Em
I’ve never heard of Petra and isn’t MegaDeth all dead
Em
G
A
Em
secondly emphatically he asked me what’s the sense
Em
G
A
Em
of hanging out with house plants when hey I live right across the fence
Em
G
A
Em
So i took my two houseplants and i put em both back outside
Em
G
A
Em
And me and my neighbor well we went out for a drive
Em
G
A
Em
We talked about all the things that really matt er most
Em
G
A
Em
Em
G
A
Em
Like life and love and happiness and then the holy Ghost
Em
G
A
Em
Now my two houseplants both sit out in the sun
Em
G
A
Em
and As for my neighbor well our friendship has become
Em
G
A
Em
a meaningful relationship that’s headed straight to heaven
Em
G
A
BUT AS FOR NOW we like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline
