BEHIND THE SCENES

Words & music: John Listen

Prelude
(Em7)The Bible said there'd come a man
With an (A7)evil secret band,
Of (Am7)men who'd rule our planet from be(Em)hind the scenes.
Well they've (Em7)nearly reached their goal,
As the (A7)prophecy foretold,
So I (Am7)think we'd better take a look be(B7)hind the scenes:

(Em7)-(D)-(Em7)

Verse 1
(Em7)Moving in so peaceably,
(A7)Scheming so relentlessly,
(Am7)Working now for centuries
Be(Em7)hind the scenes,
They (Em7)follow Satan's great design
To (A7)dominate your heart and mind;
(Am7)Faith and Truth they undermine,
From be(Em7)hind the scenes.

(B7)The greatest plot in (Em7)histo(Asus2)ry,
(Am7)It's the great conspira(B7)cy, let me tell you,

Verse 2
(Em7)Rulers fear their punishment;
(A7)Kings and Queens and Presidents
O(Am7)bey this New World Government
Be(Em7)hind the scenes.
They (Em7)call the shots in all the wars,
(A7)Send our boys to foreign shores,
(Am7)Tell us what we're fighting for,
From be(Em7)hind the scenes.

(B7)The greatest plot in (Em7)histo(Asus2)ry,
(Am7)They're determined to en(B7)slave you and me, so I'm sayin':

Chorus 1
(Em7)No, no, (Dsus2)no, don't you (Em7)be deceived,
Don't (A7)be a casual(G)ty
In their (Am7)war on liber(B7)ty!
(Cmaj7)Oh, oh, (Dsus2)oh, keep your (Em7)spirit free!(D)-(Em7)
(A)Heed the voice you (Asus4)hear inside,
(A)Let this warning (Asus4)be your guide;
Be(G)ware of their con(F#sus4)spi(F)ra(Em7)cy, (D)yeah!(Em7)

(Em7)-(Bm7)

Verse 3
Ooh, they (Em7)own the oil and own the banks,
Con(A7)trol the dollars, yen and francs;
(Am7)Nations are in debt to those
Be(Em7)hind the scenes.
And (Em7)gamblers can't resist the call
To (A7)bet on stocks that rise and fall,
But (Am7)when they crash the money's all...
You (Em7)guessed it: [Behind the scenes!]

(B7)Soon they'll require (Em7)you and (Asus2)me,
(Am7)To take a number in their (B7)One World economy!

Verse 4
With (Em7)movies, books and magazines,
(A7)Images on TV screens,
We're (Am7)duped by those we've never seen
Be(Em7)hind the (D)scenes.(Em7)
(Em7)Morning papers, evening news,
(A7)Every medium they can use,
They're (Am7)shaping public moods and views,
From be(Em7)hind the scenes.

(B7)So subtly they (Em)hypno(Asus2)tize;
(Am7)They got you hooked before you (B7)realize, realize it!

[Repeat Chorus 1]

(Em7)-(Cmaj9)-(B7)

Verse 5
Now I (Em7)hope this helps to shed some light,
So (A7/E)you can follow what is right;
There's a (C/D)greater force than those who lurk
Be(Em7)hind the scenes.(Dsus2)
For (Em7)when the world is near its end,
The (A9)God of Truth will come again,
And (Cadd9)pull the curtain on the men
Be(Em)hind the (G)scenes!(Em)-(D)-(Em)

(B7sus4)If you be(B7)lieve in (Em7)what I (A7)say,
(Am7)Pass the (Cmaj7)warning on to(B7)day,
Let me hear you sing it:

Chorus 2
(Em7)No, no, (Dsus2)no, don't you (Em7)be deceived,
Don't (A7)be a casual(G)ty
In their (Am7)war on liber(B7)ty!
(Cmaj9)Oh, oh, (Dsus2)oh, keep your (Em7)spirit free!(D)-(Em7)
(A)Jesus wants to (Asus4)be your guide,
(A)Heed His voice you (Asus4)hear inside;
Be(G)ware of their con(F#sus4)spi(F)ra(Em7)cy,
(Dsus2)Yeah, (Em7)yeah, yeah!(Dsus2)
(Em7)-(Dsus2)-(Em7)-(D)

[(Em7)Oh, oh, (Dsus2)oh, don't you (Em7)be deceived!(D)]
(Em7)Tune in to this re(Dsus2)ality
There'll (Em7)soon be no neu(D)trality.
[(Em7)Oh, oh, (Dsus2)oh, keep your (Em7)spirit free!(D)]
(Em7)Guard the doorway (Dsus2)of your soul,
Don't (Em7)ever let them (D)get control!

[(Em7)Oh, oh, (Dsus2)oh, don't you (Em7)be deceived!(D)]
And keep your (Em7)spirit (Dsus2)free!

[Keep your (Em7)spirit free!(D)]
No, don't you (Em7)be de(Dsus2)ceived!
[Don't you (Em7)be deceived!(D)]
You got to keep your (Em7)spirit free, (Dsus2)yeah!

[Keep your (Em7)spirit free!(D)]
Ooh, ooh, sing it, (Em7)sing it, keep on (Dsus2)singin' it!
[Don't you (Em7)be deceived!(D)]
Sayin' you got to keep your (Em7)spirit, (Dsus2)spirit, (Em7)spirit free!(D)

(Em7)[Keep your (Dsus2)spirit free!]
[Don't you (Em7)be deceived!(D)]
(Em7)Don't you (Dsus2)be deceived!
(Em7)Keep your (D)spirit free!

[Keep your (Em7)spirit free!]
Don't you (Dsus2)be deceived!
(Em7)Keep your (D)spirit free!
[Don't you (Em7)be deceived!]
