E5       
Once I read a book 
G5
And this is what it said 
A5                    E5
If your music has a beat 
                             E5
Then you're gonna wind up dead 
     E5                                G5
It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or not
        A5                                     E5
If it's syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot 
               E5                  G5
And this book was called      "Ha! Your Gonna Burn" 
             A5                         E5
And in the second chapter      I went on to learn 


E5       G5
Take two houseplants 
    A5              E5
And put them to the test 
         E5                    G5
Set them both in front of speakers 
              A5            E5
And let the music do the rest
    E5                  G5
The first one you play Mozart
         A5                E5
Or something lovely like that 
    E5                          G5                    A5           E5
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.
                                                   E5
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is. 


      E5                   G5
So I took my two houseplants
           A5            E5
And I put them to the test 
         E5                 G5
Set them both in front of speakers 
           A5              E5
To let the music do the rest 
    E5                G5
I powered up my Pioneers 
    A5              E5
To let the music roar 
      E5                G5
But twenty minutes later 
          A5              E5
Someone's knocking at my door 


E5
I opened up my door 
G5
And there my neighbor stood 
    A5
He said, "Man I'd like to get some sleep
E5
If you think I could"


        E5             G5
I said, "Man, can't you see here 
            A5                E5
I've got this moral dilemma that I got to get clear." 
              E5
He said, "What kind of moral dilemma 
          G5                  
Could you have at this time of night 
          A5
That could make me so angry 
                  E5 -------
That I just want to fight!?" 


      E5                         G5
So I pointed to the page in that open book 
           A5
That had a picture of a potted plant 
                  E5
And I said, "Go have a look."

And he read 


E5       G5
Take two houseplants 
    A5              E5
And put them to the test 
         E5                    G5
Set them both in front of speakers 
              A5            E5
And let the music do the rest
    E5                  G5
The first one you play Mozart
         A5                E5
Or something lovely like that 
    E5                          G5                    A5           E5
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.

Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is. 

LONE RANGER


  E5
First of all he said, 
        G5
"That's Vagner that you're playing 
       A5
I've never heard of Petra 
           E5
And isn't MegaDeth all dead." 


      E5         G5              A5
And secondly, emphatically, He asked me, 
            E5             E5              G5
"What's the sense of hanging out with houseplants when, hey,
       A5              E5
I live right across the fence." 
(mute)
And I thought to myself 

You know, that's a good point 


      E5                 G5
So I took my two houseplants, and 
   A5                  E5
I put them both back outside 
    E5            G5
And me and my neighbor 
        A5              E5
Well, we went out for a drive 


     E5             G5
We talked about all the things 
      A5           E5
That really matter most 
       E5            G5
Like life and love and happiness 
     A5                E5
And then the Holy Ghost 


E5      G5      A5      E5

     E5             G5
And now my two houseplants 
      A5                 E5
They sit out in the sun 
    E5            G5
But as for my neighbor 
         A5              E5
Well our friendship has become 
    E5              G5
A meaningful relationship 
       A5                E5
That's headed straight to heaven 
    E5
But as for now
    G5                               A5
We like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline 
           E5
Cranked to eleven!
