Biography:
Mischief Brew was an anarchist folk-punk band. A wicked concoction by Erik Petersen – a musical feast falling somewhere between the categories of pirate punk, Celtic folk, gypsy swing, devilish jazz, American olde-tyme and country. It’s good music to stomp, kick, pogo, jitterbug, waltz, drink, twist and shout to – whether the performance is solo acoustic or with a backing band of accordion, drums, and mandolin.
Erik started making music at a young age

[Verse 1]
E A
I am a simple man
E B
I've seen kingdoms span
E A
I've seen empire's rise and fall
E B
And turn my diamonds all into sand
E
I scorned the body
A
The flesh the bloody
E B
And tossed my money on down the drain
E A
I thought I'd feel so much lighter than air
E B
When I abolished my earthly chains
[Chorus]
A B
But something more is calling me
E B A
And I think my eyes can see it
A B
I think my hands can touch it
[Verse 2]
E A
So asking you, Lord above
E B
As you pile the plates up
E A
You gave them bread, you gave them water
E B
Then you told them what they could and they couldn't touch
E
I scorned desire
A E B
But now the fire is growing higher into the sky
E A
So I refuse to simply lock myself away
E B
And let this heaven on earth pass by
[Chorus]
A B
There's no glory in greed and want
E B A
But there's none in poverty either
A B
Like they give you salvation and damnation
E
And I take neither
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
A B
I once said it's not about riches or rags
E B A
And now I do remember
A B
That these puddles of wax won't give me candles back
E B A
And won't keep you warm in December
A
So we'll storm the castle
B
Declare the kingdom rich
E B A
And do away with slaves and masters
A B
No longer do we want the sleep of eternity
E
To come 'round faster
E E E
Faster, faster, faster....
A
Hey!
