A augmentedA
I was up in the morning with the TV blaring
A augmentedA
Brush my teeth, sittin' watchin' the news
A augmentedA
All the beaches were closed, the ocean was a Red Sea
A augmentedA
But there was no one there to part in two
D MajorD
There was no fresh salad because there's hypos in the cabbage
D MajorD
Staten Island disappeared at noon
A augmentedA
They say the midwest is in great distress
A augmentedA
And NASA blew up the moon


Chorus:

G+G
The ozone layer has no ozone anymore
         D MajorD
And you're gonna leave me for the guy next door?
A augmentedA
I'm sick of you
A augmentedA
I'm sick of you

Verse:

A augmentedA
They arrested the Mayor for an illegal favor
A augmentedA
Sold the Empire State to Japan
A augmentedA
And Oliver North married William Secord
A augmentedA
And gave birth to a little Teheran
D MajorD
And the Ayatollah bought a nuclear warship
D MajorD
If he dies he wants to go out in style
A augmentedA
And there's nothing to eat that don't carry the stink
A augmentedA
Of some human waste dumped in the Nile


Chorus:

G+G
Well, one thing is certainly true
    D MajorD
No one here knows what to do
A augmentedA
And I'm sick of you
A augmentedA
I'm sick of you

Some whacked out trucker drove into a nuclear reactor

Doctors say this is a medical advance

They say the bad makes the good and there's something to be learned

In every human experience
