A Liquor Never Brewed

Biography:

Kettle Rebellion was the first "full-band" incarnation of Mischief Brew. Formed in 2001, after the "Mirth" demo was unleashed, the band only played five shows in Philly, recorded eight songs in 2002, and that was that. The songs were never mastered nor released. A few years later, some kids were staying at Erik and Denise's house and one of them swiped the final mixes. He made up his own song titles (because they weren't listed), and put it on Soulseek as a "rare Mischief Brew record.

[Verse 1]
Gm
There was a knockin' at my door
Cm Gm
It's the dreaded landlord
Cm Gm
He wants his rent and wants it now
Dm Gm
And he is careless how
Eb Bb
He left us in a vacant daze
Cm Dm Cm
Askin' how we got here
Gm Dm
And we retired to slumber
Am Gm
But the glasses never were rinsed

[Verse 2]
Gm
There was a tapping on my back
Cm Gm
It's the dreaded foreman
Cm Gm
I think I see a smile
Dm Gm
Through his teeth and his cigar
Eb Bb
He put my hands to working
Cm Dm Cm
Said they'd otherwise do nothing
Gm Dm
And I made a thousand things today
Am Gm
I'm sure I'll never use

[Verse 3]
Gm
There was a ringing of my bell
Cm Gm
I picked it up to answer
Cm Gm
They said they were my comrade
Dm Gm
But they couldn't say my name +
Eb Bb
So I asked about the sun and moon
Cm Dm Cm
And what their thoughts on time were
Gm Dm
They hung it up in madness
Am Gm
And went on to punch the clock

Gm

[Chorus]
Cm Gm
And somewhere there's a sound of someone singing
Dm Gm
I got an invitation once to liberty
Eb Gm
They had a mischief brew, but no goblets were used
Am
Besting rum or porter
Am Am Bb Am
'tis a liquor never brewed.

Never brewed!

[Verse 4]
Gm
There was a rapping at my door
Cm Gm
It's the dreaded policeman
Cm Gm
He had a ticket to enter
Dm Gm
Signed by fools and stamped with laws
Eb Bb
He questioned me on politics
Cm Dm Cm
Scorned my generation
Gm Dm
For not respecting elders
Am Gm
And the land's authority

[Verse 5]
Gm
So when the landlord came to knock
Cm Gm
I said, "Come back tomorrow!"
Cm Gm
There's more life I'll be living
Dm Bb
Than just slaving from your wage
Eb Bb
And to the troop and foreman.
Eb Bb Dm Am
Make yourself the things I don't use.
Gm Dm Am Gm
For I'm off into the forest for a liquor never brewed!

[Chorus]
Cm Gm
Today, I'm following the sound of someone singing
Dm Gm
I got an invitation once to liberty
Eb Gm
They had a mischief brew, but no goblets were used
Am
Besting rum or porter
Am Am Bb Am
'Tis a liquor never brewed, never brewed

[Outro]
Just mess around with those bridge chords until the end.
