C.... C....
Let's see action, let's see people
Bb F C....
Let's see freedom, let's see who cares
Take me with you when you leave me
And my shell behind us there.
I have learned it, known who burned me,
Avatar has warmed my feet
Take me with you, let me see you,
Time and life can meet
Nothing is everything, everything is, nothing is
Please the people, audiences,
Break the fences,
Nothing is
[chorus; note: acoustic continues intro pattern during chorus]

Let's see freedom up in the air,
Let's see action, let's see people,
Let's be free, let's see who cares
Let's see action, let's see people,
Let's see freedom up in the air
Let's see action, let's see people,
Let's be free, let's see who cares

Let's see freedom in the air
Let's see action, let's see people
Let's be free, let's see who cares

| Pete Townshend is the GOD songwriter of all time. It's not like I've completely understood a single song of his. However, I;ve given some of them a thought. To me, this song sounds like a teenager's point of view. Nothing seems to make complete sense to him - "nothing is everything". "Let's see action; let's see people;let's see freedom" - let us see if anybody can do anything about the state of the world. Let us see if anyone can get us freedom. Let us if people even care. It doesn't look to me like they do. It doesn't loook to me anything's gonna change. | |
