RIFF1 x2 RIFF1a x2 RIFF2 RIFF3
[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I was riding on a concrete slab,
E5 ( RIFF3 )
down a river of useless flab
A5 ( RIFF4 )
it was such a bootiful day
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I heard a witch-doctor say,
[Chorus]
B F# B C G C D C#
"I'll turn you into a toadstool"
E5 ( RIFF3 )
Now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope
[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
my muscle's twitching on your words
E5 ( RIFF3 )
you want to speak you lose your nerves
A5 ( RIFF4 )
infinity throws you a curve
E5 ( RIFF3 )
some cruel trick you don't deserve
[Chorus]
B F# B C G C D C#
as life goes by you in a blur
E5 ( RIFF3 )
Leaves you murmuring a dirty word
D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 E5 E5 x4
F5 E5 F5 E5 F5 E5 E5 x2 - Riff 3
[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
page out of a comic book
E5 ( RIFF3 )
a chicken hanging on a hook
A5 ( RIFF4 )
a river ain't a babbling brook
E5 ( RIFF3 )
a servant ain't a T.V.cook
[Chorus]
B F# B C G C D C#
palming my hand at your fake face
E5 ( RIFF3 )
a suicidal certain look
[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
a microphone a blues guitar
E5 ( RIFF3 )
people feeling near and far
A5 ( RIFF4 )
stupidity a mental scar
E5 ( RIFF3 )
oh cruelty oh cruelty
[Chorus]
B F# B C G C D C#
I'm feeling no inspiration
E5 ( RIFF3 )
an alcoholic at the bar
E5 ( RIFF3 )
every ounce just goes to far
[Lead]

[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I was pissing on the desert sands,
E5 ( RIFF3 )
when the desert whispered to me,
A5 ( RIFF4 )
"damn! isn't this a shame?
E5 ( RIFF3 )
things will never be the same..."
[Chorus]
B F# B C G C D C#
I run this gas and oasis
E5 ( RIFF3 )
now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope
[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I was a teenage dinosaur,
E5 ( RIFF3 )
stoned and obsolete
A5 ( RIFF4 )
I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I got so fucking pissed
[Chorus]
B F# B C G C D C#
using my hand for an ashtray
E5 ( RIFF3 )
now I'll tell you who I am
[Outro]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I'm the repo-man
E5 ( RIFF3 )
and I'm looking for the joke
E5 ( RIFF3 )
looking for the joke
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope... Repeat
