And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and

[Verse 1]
G Em9
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
A F#m7 F#7
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
G Em9
The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'em
A F#m7 F#7
Happiness or flashiness, how do you serve the question?
G Em9
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
A A#dim
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
Bm7 Em6
I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
C#m7 F#m7 F#7
I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make amend, I understand
[Verse 2]
G Em9
I ain't perfect, I probably won't come around
A F#m7
This time I might put you down, last time I ain't give a fuck
F#7 G Em9
I still feel the same now, my feelings might go numb
A F#m7 F# G
You're dealing with cold thumb, I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
Em9 A A#dim
Pity parties and functions and you and yours, a perfect world, you probably live another 24

[Verse 3]
G Em9
Now in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
A F#m7 F#7
Cold as December but never remember what winter did
G Em9
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
A F#m7 F#7
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
G Em9
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
A A#dim
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
Bm7 Em6
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
C#m7 F#m7 F#7
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
[Verse 4]
G Em9
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
A F#m7 F#7
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
G Em9
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
A F#m7 F#7
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
G Em9
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
A A#dim
I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison
Bm7 Em6
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
C#m7 F#m7 F#7
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world
[Chorus 3]
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7
Me, I wasn't taught to share
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G Em9 A A#dim
Me, I wasn't taught to share
Bm7 Em6 C#m7 F#m7 F#7
But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]

Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7 F#7 G Em9 A
Maybe I wasn’t there

Aloha,
I don’t know if you’ve heard of this little-known, underground, indie group called “COVID-19″…
But it’s been around for a while, and it’s taking the world by storm.
Luckily, there’s a vaccine that severely reduces your chances of getting it.
According to some quick research, it reduces your chances to something less than 1%…
Not bad, not bad.
Now, I’m not much of a gambling man, but my luck has finally turned…
And now, I can finally include myself as a member of The 1% (Occupy Wal-greens!!!)
(Yeah, shitty 2011 joke, I know)
But for real, I’m doing fine. Mainly flu-like symptoms. No hospitalization.
And from a purely statistical point of view, I think it’s good that I got it rather than someone else…
Although, I don’t know how much viruses care about statistics.
Anywho, all this down time has given me a chance to edit and upload some new videos.
Just a heads up, I’m getting lazy with these new song covers;
From now on, I’m just gonna “shoot it and boot it”
No fancy microphones, no editing software, no effects.
Just a phone camera.
So now, here’s your priority-access, first-look, before any Juan else, at…
BOOM! 3 NEW COVERS!
(They said it couldn’t be done!)
Here you are:
Jumper by Third Eye Blind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFClibS-cho (Classic 90’s song)
KRS-One by Sublime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVagd69y1Xg (One of my favorite “lesser-known” Sublime songs)
Pride by Kendrick Lamar (Short Cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsHKa0FCDdU (I made this cover short because I mess up when I sing the whole song and didn’t wanna “throw away” the video…)
Enjoy,
Dylrona
P.S. I’ve got BRAND NEW CDs for anyone who wants them — stay tuned, I’m gonna post an order form after I fully recover.
