"Sing a Different Tune" lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman / AmG Am CD Am / C D F G / Am D E - / Sing a different tune; sing the tune that's on your mind. It doesn't matter if it fits; if it clashes with all the other bits, That only means you've left the choir behind. Sing a different tune; sing a tune that's all your own. Your brothers and your sisters do exactly as their instructed to, Pehaps that's why you'd rather sing alone. Sing a different tune; see what mischief you can make. Sing it loud and sing it free, sing it in some other key, Until the dichord's more than they can take. / D E Am - / You want to hear their holy voices break! Sing a different tune; you've already crossed the line. Dare to rise above your station, dare to dream your own creation, Grander than the master's grand design Sing a different tune; see who else will sing along. First in power, first in thought, sick of doing what you ought; Raise your voice in battle -- you are strong! And never ask if what you do is wrong! Sing a different tune; now have done with playing nice! Sing revenge and sing desire, sing the mountains into fire, Sing the swirling oceans into ice! Sing a different tune; sing a hell of molten steel! Raise a horde of mighty demons, rage until the world is screaming! Show those goody choir kids how you feel! Sing a different tune; raise the song into a shout! Wash the world in war forever, death to all who sing together! Put your puny enemies to rout... At least until the bastards kick you out!
