Lyrics/Song Structure:
=====================
---> Play Riff 1a (x2)
---> Play Riff 1b over:
This song started as a rant against haters
But that'd be giving into the instigators
There's one thing I'd like to pull off
When Someone steps to me all I'd do is just scoff 
You can't burn me
You can't burn me
---> Play Riff 2 over:
The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice that's spent every time you work it
Everylife force is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is elec...
---> Play Riff 3a over:
..tricity
You can't avoid that
Evolution is fact
We're all from the same Lucy
Despite differences, you see
---> Play Bridge (x1)
---> Play Riff 1b over:
I'm in disbelief at what people will believe
All along I thought we had our hearts on our shirtsleeves
If one thing I can say as a piece of advice
Don't believe it till you see it, then see it twice
It's so funny
It's so funny
---> Play Riff 2 over:
The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice that's spent every time you work it
Everylife force is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is elec...
---> Play Riff 3a over:
..tricity
You can't avoid that
Evolution is fact
We're all from the same Lucy
Despite differences, you see
I call out for unity
In every province and city
What you think we've been saying
Since we first started 
---> Play "E5" over:
