Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]What keeps me going
when the world [C]like this
I [G]don’t know I guess
I’m holding on
to something like hope I [C]guess
What’s a [D]dream if
you’re never really [G]woke
[C]But death
pardon [D]me I’m just laughing
[G]cause there’s no jokes [C]left
[G]Hey

[Verse 2]
is it too late to not not give [C]a fuck?
The [G]planet is hot my brain is rotting
my penis is shriveling [C]up
[D]I’m stuck in the house
I’m stuffing [G]my mouth
I haven’t seen humans in [C]months
If [D]this isn’t acid this is [G]my last trip
Life is a terrible [C]drug[G]
Psychedelic shit
Everything I know is irrel[C]evant
now that you mention it
Horny and [G]celibate
My dick is irrelevant
FaceTime is the closest
That we will ever get
To tell you the [D]truth my [G]brain got no [D]room
For a pink ass elephant
[G]Twisted like good rope
[C]Hung like good [G]folk
It’s all [D]relatives
Swinging [G]from the branches
of the [C]government
Woah
[G]Hey, i’m so woke I forgot [C]to dream
It [G]was something about the top
of a mountain
Shit, tighten the noose, it slips [C]my memory.
[D]Black blood is raining like
it’s entertainment
An[G]d it’s all a nightmare [C]to me
The [D]fu ture called, it wants 20 20 back
[G]If we can [C]Nazi not see
[G]

[Verse 3]
So woke we forgot [G]to dream
[C](This is an [G]awkward scene)
Look, I like categories as much
as the next fantasy
[C]But, paging [G]Dr. [C]King
[D]Look, unity is soon to be written in an [G]obit
And [C]the only thing to get us
together is Covid?
[D](Trash)
Hi I’m not violent
but my words are loaded
Can [G]I borrow sugar to [C]coat [G]‘em?
(Mask)

[Verse 4]
What keeps me going when [G]the world like [C]this
I [G]don’t know I guess I’m holding
on
to something like hope I
[C]guess
[D]What’s a dream if
you’re never really [G]woke
But [C]death
pardon [D]me I’m just laughing
cause [G]there’s no jokes [C]left
Today aristo[G]crats chanting

[Verse 5]
[G]
“good vibes only”
While the hood dies slowly
In the periphery [C](who wants
[G]to see misery)
Peasants be bumming my pleasantries
Create realities with New Age
recipes:
“Get poor people out my space“
Crystals and salads and
[C]magic [G]midwifery
This is a [C]symphony
- we are all Tiffany
[G](Face)
This is how victory look
this is the system [C]when shook
Power the people
The [D]winners are writing
the history books
[G]Fuck all the versus for [C]good
Forever we singing the hook
[D]Sorry I’m late I was pressing my luck
Is it [G]too late to not not [C]not not give a fuck?
Uh...
The [G]pendulum swings from awful
to dumb
And we have to sit there
and let [C]them think they won
And they [G]tend to win nothing
but sentiment
100 percent of the time
Not enough to commit them to penitence
So it [C]swings by empathy,
elegance,
[D]Righteousness, grace -
All made irrelevant
[G]Wisdom replaced
[C]With a limitless innocence...
Now citizens, [D]feminists to gentle[G]men,
left to right, I propose we act
like night is eminent...
Ah!

[Verse 6]
What keeps me going when the world like [C]this
I [G]don’t know I guess I’m holding
on
to something like hope I
[C]guess
[D]What’s a dream
if you’re never really [G]woke
But [C]death
pardon [D]me I’m just laughing
cause [G]there’s no jokes [C]left
[G]What keeps me going,

[Verse 7]
what [C]keeps me going
[G]What keeps me going,
what keeps me [C]here
What [D]keeps,
[G]wha[C]t k[D]eeps [G]me [C]goi[G]ng
What [C]keeps me [G]going,
[C]wha[D]t[G][C][D][G][C]
[G]keeps me going.
[C][G][C][D][G][C][D]
[G]
