“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government. That is, we can’t take them violently out of the hands of government. All we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.”

F.A. Hayek 1984 interview.

From Nature's Cup

FROM NATURE’S CUP

Lyrics: Ken Wiebe
Music: Rejean Bussieres

Intro: D C#7 Bm A G#m C#7

F#m E F#m E

1. You think you know better than me,

F#m E F#m E

What I should think, what I should be?

F#m D - E A D - E

I tell you now, I tell you true,

F#m E F#m E

You don’t know me and I don’t know you.

Life’s a struggle, I don’t know why, where first we suffer and then we die.

It’s up to me, it’s up to you, to find our own way & muddle through.

D A E F#m

Ch.: Don’t tell me what to think, don’t tell me what to say.

D A G C#7 %

Don’t tell me what to eat, don’t tell me how to pray

D % A % G % F#m %

‘Cause I’m a free man, a free man, free in every way.

D % A % G % C#7 % intro

‘Cause I’m a free man, a free man, freer every day

F#m E F#m E

2. I’ll mind my business, you mind yours.

F#m E F#m E

Don’t write your laws to close my doors.

F#m D - E A D - E

Women judge our lives, men chain us up,

F#m E F#m E

For daring to drink from Nature’s Cup.

All free men, whether rich or poor, must take a stand & say:”No more.”

The time is now, the time’s today, when they come for us, say:”No way.”

D A E F#m

Ch.: Don’t tell me what to do, don’t tell me what to say.

D A G C#7 %

Don’t tell me where to smoke, don’t tell me how to pray

D % A % G % F#m %

‘Cause I’m a free man, a free man, free in every way.

D % A % G % C#7 % intro

‘Cause I’m a free man, a free man, freer every day

F#m E F#m E

3. You ask me how to do this thing,

F#m E F#m E

there’s more to it than dance & sing.

F#m D - E A D - E

We’ve got to speak, we’ve got to act,

F#m E F#m E

When freedom itself is attacked.

So guard your brother, guard Him well, his freedom’s yours, can’t you tell.

Don’t sell Him out, don’t sell Him short, let no one chain Him in their court.

D A E F#m

Ch.: Don’t tell me what to take, don’t tell me how to give.

D A G C#7 %

Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me where to live.

D % A % G % F#m %

‘Cause I’m a free man, a free man, free in every way.

D % A % G % C#7 % intro x3 F#m

‘Cause I’m a free man, a free man, freer every day
