Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

(don henley/mike campbell)

While you were sleeping
They came and took it all away
The lanes and the meadows
The places where you used to play

It was an inside job
By the well-connected
Your little protest
So merrily rejected

It was an inside job
Like it always is
Chalk it up to business as usual

While we are dreaming
This little island disappears
While you are looking the other way
They’ll take your right to own your own ideas

And it’s an inside job
Favors collected
Your trusted servants
Have left you unprotected

It was an inside job
Like it always is
Just chalk it up
To business as usual

You think that you’re so smart
But you don’t have a fucking clue
What those men up in the towers
Are doing to me and you
And they’ll keep doin’ it and doin’ it
And doin’ it and doin’ it
And doin’ it and doin’ it
And doin’ it and doin’ it
Until we all wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

I know what i’ve done wrong
I am acquainted with the night
I know how hard it is
To always walk out in the light

And it’s an inside job
To learn about forgiving
It’s an inside job
To hang on to the joy of living

They know the road by which you came
They know your mother’s maiden name
And what you had for breakfast
And what you’ve hidden in the mattress

Insect politics
Indifferent universe
Bang your head against the wall
But apathy is worse

It’s an inside job
It’s an inside job
It’s an inside job
Yeh, yeah

It’s an inside job
It’s an inside job
It’s an inside job
It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job
It’s an inside job

(intro: xzibit)
Mr. x to the z (who am i?)
M-m-m-mr. x (who am i?)
X to the to-the-to-the z
M-m-m-m-mr. x-x-x to the z (yeah, yo)
M-m-m-m-mr. x-x-x to the z

(xzibit)
So it’s one fifteen in the mornin i’m comin up, a hard day, serve
We gettin drunk smokin herb and the third dike you roll
Non-stop cash flow, 20,000 dollars and the rest cuttin yayo
We had the rocks, my nigga late to pick it up
Get him on the phone, hurry up cause i ain’t tryin to get stuck
So what the fuck is the hold up?
("nigga sit your ass in the chair and i’ll be right there")
Reminds me i gotta shake the spot
I got bitches in the hotel room ready for me to bang cob weight (*knock*)
Yo, who is that man?
("he wanna spend a couple of hundred, (yeah), but he’ll be right back")
That’s when i shoulda got the heater
But i was too busy in the kitchen countin money and takin shots at tequila
Started countin out twelve when it hit me
If you was rocksteady, you woulda came when the c-note’s rang
Before i could yell out to lock the front
Niggas rushed in the front door with the gauge, ready, duck
Bad enough i’m caught up in it, jacked, but worst than that
I’m caught in the kitchen without the strap
("where the muh-fuckin sack homeboy?")
Yeah, woulda killed terminators only d between us is
A stove and a refrigerator, came in and put the gauge to my chest
Took the money off the table and said ("yo, where’s the rest of it nigga?")
You gotta love it, came straight to the moneyman
20,000 cash, needed stacks, wrapped in rubber bands
Snatched the whole shit and broke out
I ran to the living room and got the heat from under the couch
Smashed out into the middle of the street started blastin
Dumpin at the getaway cars but they was mashin
I thought i heard the homies just in time for the action
Police hit the corner with they reds and white’s flashin
These niggas rolled off with at least a cool fifty
Ya, i’m in handcuffs on the ground and mad cause the k-9 bit me
Shipped me off downtown for the bookin
Threw my herb sack when the cops wasn’t lookin
Fingerprints, hold the tape, hear come detectors
One at the door, another one askin questions
Stupid shit like: – "who was i shootin at?"
Was it game related and where do they kick it at?
But i didn’t say shit i can tell from all the people
Involved it was an inside job
But i’m the wrong nigga to rob, i’ll hunt you down
Fuck the money, i’ll take you off and accept the loss
Set bail at fifteen g’s, no sweat
Got cars slippin tonight, and almost got wet
Homies come to set bail see, but that’s all right
Since i’m already here i’ma spend the night

(outro: xzibit and another having a conversation)
("hey, hey i need to use the phone again") (*car horns*)
("ay, ay man") ("since when did you start takin shoestrings and shit?") ("man")
("ahhhh") ("do i look like i wanna kill?") ("ay man, fuck that")
("ay, look?) ("i just need to use the phone real quick man, eh, fuck it")
("aight, ay, let me get the top bunk")
("ay man, this, this, this blanket, this blanket smell like urine man")

All right, you’re charged with public intoxication
(all right, listen there’s a thousand people down there who are drunk)
Okay, i understand that
