Verse:
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I was riding on a concrete slab,
E5E5 (RIFF3)
down a river of useless flab
A5A5 (RIFF4)
it was such a beautiful day
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I heard a witch-doctor say,

Chorus:
BB   F#F#  BB  C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD  C#C#
"I'll turn you into a toadstool"
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope

Verse:
E5E5 (RIFF3)
my muscle's twitching on your words
E5E5 (RIFF3)
if you're on the streets you lose your nerves
A5A5 (RIFF4)
divinity throws you a curve
E5E5 (RIFF3)
sticks you and then you go berserk

Chorus:
BB   F#F#  BB  C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD  C#C#
as life goes by you in a blur
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope

Verse:
E5E5 (RIFF3)
page out of a comic book
E5E5 (RIFF3)
a chicken hanging on a hook
A5A5 (RIFF4)
a river and a babbling brook
E5E5 (RIFF3)
 a sermon and a teenage hook

Chorus:
BB   F#F#  BB  C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD  C#C#
shaking my hand at your fake face
E5E5 (RIFF3)
a suicide a certain look

Verse:
E5E5 (RIFF3)
a microphone a loose guitar
E5E5 (RIFF3)
people feeling near and far
A5A5 (RIFF4)
stupidity a mental scar
E5E5 (RIFF3)
put cruel into cruelty

Chorus:
BB   F#F#  BB  C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD  C#C#
abhorring   no inspiration
E5E5 (RIFF3)
an alcoholic has gone far
E5E5 (RIFF3)
everything just goes to far

Verse:
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I was pissing on the desert sands,
E5E5 (RIFF3)
when the desert whispered to me,
A5A5 (RIFF4)
"damn! isn't this a shame?
E5E5 (RIFF3)
things will never be the same..."

Chorus:
BB   F#F#  BB  C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD  C#C#
I run this gas and oasis
E5E5 (RIFF3)
now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope

Verse:
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I was a teenage dinosaur,
E5E5 (RIFF3)
stoned and obsolete
A5A5 (RIFF4)
I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I got so fucking dense

Chorus:
BB   F#F#  BB  C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD  C#C#
using my head for an ashtray
E5E5 (RIFF3)
now I'll tell you who I am

Outro:
E5E5 (RIFF3)
I'm the repo-man
E5E5 (RIFF3)
and I'm looking for the joke
E5E5 (RIFF3)
looking for the joke
E5E5 (RIFF3)
