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:
	playing
