[Tempo: 96 BPM; nervous, radiant, faintly dangerous] [Tonal center: F# Mixolydian stained by G and C] [Metric law: common-time backbeat, square four-bar phrasing or hidden straight-rock pulse anywhere. Bass, kick, vocal accents and ensemble cuts must clearly expose every additive grouping; vocal lines cross bar lines] [Wiry high alto, dry and slightly feral; part folk prophet, part confrontational rock singer. Agile consonants, sharp register flips and lyric-only gang responses. No breathy delivery, humming, oohs, aahs or generic diva belts] [Sound: Psychedelic progressive alternative metal colliding with crooked funk, ritual percussion and abrasive jazz. Fuzz bass, elastic low guitars, handclaps, floor toms, detuned electric piano and flashes of twelve-string guitar. No djent breakdown or cinematic build] [Verse 1] I was raised by a tribe of sunshine people Golden crowns and flowin' gowns and hair like honey And if you came at us with your swords and spears You better listen 'cause you need to hear We don't fight back We don't fight back [Chorus] But don't you see? We don't have to We're the sunshine people Don't you see? It might look like you're winnin' now But it's only temporary 'Cause we're the sunshine people [Verse 2] There was a man who had a hat like mine He took me into a castle where he had me locked inside And every time I tried to break free I lost another piece of me And it was real bad It was real bad [Chorus] But don't you see? He can't hurt me I'm one of the sunshine people Don't you see? It might look like he's winnin' now But that's just temporary 'Cause I'm one of the sunshine people [Bridge] So even if you think you're better Even if you think you're strong Even if you think you're smarter Even if you think you're wrong It don't matter 'cause we're on the bright side [Final Chorus] Don't you see? It might look like you're winnin' now But it's only temporary Don't you see? It might look like you're winnin' now But it's only temporary 'Cause we're the sunshine people [Outro] The sunshine people Sunshine
