Imaginal Cells chords by Machine Head
Verse 1
G
We're in a critical phase
of human civilization
That our survival is really in question
D
There is generally a feeling
That there's something happening
G
People have been exposed of course
to the whole concept of peak oil
D
To climate change, to population explosion
The doomsday clock
Bb
keeps moving closer
C
Bb
Re ligious people are talking
G
about the end times
Present state of disorganization
C
What seems to be happening is that people
are beginning to realize
How many of these are real crises
D
G
Or how many of these are crises as a result
Bb
B
of limitations of our belief system?
G
While our civilization's
structures become so rigid
D
And it can no longer adapt
to the changing situations
There's a great increase
in mental illness
G
There are signs of when these civilizations
come to an end
D
There's a sense of alienation
within the population
Bb
A very large increase in violent crime,
Eb
social disruption
Bb
G
Some of the beliefs that we have bought
C
into affect the entire population so
G
C
And surprisingly an interest
in religious cultism
D
G
As societies start to begin
Bb
B
Bb
to disintegrate
C
G
These weapons of mass distraction
D
Which are now falling apart
as we're seeing
Life being exposed time and time again,
G
every day, every week
What they've been distracting us from
D
Is our true power,
the true nature of human nature
Our power to evolve
Bb
Our power to become cells in the
organism called humanity
G
And there's the exciting story
C
of our own power to evolve
Our own true nature and our own
D
evolutionary destiny
Medicine started out as
G
a healing art to help others
D
But over time and in our
materialistic world
C
D
And a world based on corporations
B
G
Industries that thrive by making
D
money out of sick people
But the environment's changing
We are at this very moment
Bb
In a stage where corporations
are teeter- tottering
Because they can't maintain
G
themselves anymore
They've grown too big and they
D
G
have too little awareness
C
To maintain this world
And while they are doing their
destruction of the planet
D
Bb
D
A new series of people
G
are coming out of the old
Just like we talked about
D
the imaginal cells
But imaginal cells have a
different vision of the world
G
And why this is important for us
D
Is because it is a world of relationship
C
D
Nobody can get off the bus,
Bb
we're all in this together
We see that we are indeed really
G
approaching a change of civilization
C
It really is a lesson for us
We're in the throes of a new evolution
D
A new civilization is manifesting,
C
Bb
D
a greater civilization is manifesting
Bb
G
Creative minorities arise
The imaginal cells are people
that are saying
D
"There's another way to do this
There's a better,
brighter image that's much more successful
G
Than the one we're doing"
The precursors of the next
D
level of our evolution
The fractal image will repeat itself
It's not a coincidence
C
Bb
We know where we've been,
C
G
we know where we're going
And all I have to say is
Just stay out of way of
C
the dinosaurs as they crash
And allow us to take over this planet
D
D
And bring in the new ideas that the
imaginal cells will offer
To support and encourage our
survival as a civilization on this planet
