For 5 months I wished to write a resistance version of "Let it be" from The Beatles, because every time I sing it, I feel there is something wrong with it*.
First 5 months was a disaster! "The Doors" and "Curt Cobain" kept making me rape Mother Mary, and although that's strong language to start a resistance, it sounded a bit too wrong..This and other dead roads kept it to only 3 words all that time! :-)
Today: All words came at once! YES!
Chords are like the normal version, but I advice one change in vocals. See bottom.
I hope you enjoy this version of "Let it be"!
Though I think it speaks for itself and I like open interpretation, let me specify what I thought of with some parts of the lyrics:
The poison are the state and other powers that keep us down and sleeping, as well as our induced state of sleep, our weakness that let us sleep!
"Buying things" of promise also refers to consumerism (our "Bread & Games") as well as the powers soothing us "It will be all all right." (Let it be) "You will be happy soon!"
"Today we may be parted" refers to the lack of a critical mass as well as to the ones that are still waking (more or less or more) fighting among each other. Let's rise above our human condition and not fight among each other. Too many organisations are breaking up, too many personal problems break our resistance!

Let it (not just) be!
When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Poison comes to me,
urging me to drea-eam and let it be.
And in my hour of wakings,
she is standing right in front of me,
shrieking words of authority: Let it be!
Let us sleep, let us sleep, let us sheep, let us sheep,
buying things of promise: Let it be.
And we're the broken harted people,
living in the world un-free,
there will be NO answer if you let it be.
Today we may be parted,
there is still a chance that we will see,
WE will be the answer: Let it OUT!
Let it out, Let it out, Let it NO-OT ju-ust be,
Shout of resistance! Let it not just be.
And when the night is cloudy,
Let's start the light that changes us,
shines a new tomorrow: let it out!
Let's wake up to this sound of music,
Don't rely on Mother Mary,
let's fight the oppression: Let it NOT JUST BE!!
