Alchemeon: The Freaks (Shall Inherit the Earth)

The Freaks (Shall Inherit the Earth) by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. The Freaks (Shall Inherit the Earth) is a glorious rock n roll anthem and call to action in the key of G major. It was performed by the Spacegoats before Alchemeon started playing it. The Freaks (Shall Inherit the Earth) would have been the final song in an Alchemeon set, with Orb and Finale as encores. THE FREAKS (SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH) How many jacks are kept in their boxes? How many dreams are trodden underfoot? It could be in you or it could be in me The fate of all nations or a colour TV Look down any road see a million faces Scream back their pain from a sheer concrete wall There’s a million products made just to fill that hole But you never never, can never fill it at all It’s a cry from the depths of a pin-stripe suit And whose voice dares not to conform Why is it just those who can see through the see through? They’re the misfits who break out from the norm The Freaks! The Freaks! The Freaks shall inherit the Earth The Freaks! The Geeks! Who speak shall inherit the Earth Should we obey what the government says? Is it wrong not to tag along? The question is no question at all But what we do with our backs to the wall What is a freak? I think we’ll see When what is established gets washed away Those who cling to it will not survive it Destiny’s child awakes a new day Just look around you see those bulldozers working Their ripping up the land for fool’s gold again It’s getting worse, can’t go on forever And who’s gonna be here when these dinosaurs fall? Ok. What’s it going to be if it is as we’ve hear? Who’s gonna emerge with these worlds submerged? When the damage is done from the profit we made Are you gonna cling to the wreckage or else go with the change? CHANGE!!!!! Now there’s some pretty megaton forces Stirring up hate and making a war Who can get poison and spit out the bullet? Who are these freaks, do you think that one’s you? The Freaks! The Freaks! The Freaks shall inherit the Earth The Freaks! The Geeks! Who speak shall inherit the Earth The Freaks! The Freaks! The Freaks shall inherit the Earth The Freaks! The Geeks! Who speak shall inherit the ….. Earth!!!! Words and music by Simon Miller. This arrangement by S. Miller/G. Davies/J. Peters/Iggy.
