Don't get fooled by appearances
A funky blues rant - I'm not entirely sure where it came from .

E E E G E riff
Don’t get fooled by appearances, things are not always what they seem
Just as a strict adherence to the rules can lead to something obscene.
It’s just a grand illusion for the fools if you know what I mean
It’s just a double blind, you need to be aware
just look behind the mirror the truth is hiding there
Don’t ever get resigned, don’t get blinded by the glare
You know you got the right to say it like it is
He may have the might but that don’t mean it’s his.
Stand up and fight your corner, let it fizz
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
You can do what you like but I got it in hand
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
Instrumental verse
You may not like what you’re seeing or you might just think it’s so-so
Well I could jazz up the surface with psychedelic swirls of day-glow
But it wouldn’t get you closer to what’s down below
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
I’m not under the spell of your famous brand
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
Whatever else I am I’m my own man
(Shift everything up to G)
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
You can do what you like but I got it in hand
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
You know that song, you can’t judge a book by the cover
I may be wrong but I’ll find out one way or another
I may get put upon but I’ll recover
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
I don’t wanna be part of your master plan
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand,
