Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G F C
G F C
[Verse 1]
G
My girlfriend doesn’t worry
F C
About the things that always trouble me
G
She says “Why are you so grumpy?
F G
Let’s just both sit here quiet and calmly
C G
And you probably should be thinking first
F G
About how glad you’ll be if you do some work
C F G C
And about our relationship.”
[Verse 2]
G F C
My girlfriend doesn’t worry about the vision Mao Tse-Tung had for China
G
Was agrarian reform for the better?
F G
Or is cynicism part of our culture?
C G
Why did people fight and die for their freedom?
F G
Was Utopia a lie as a concept?
C G
Is the Western model really our future?
F G
Is there nothing any better to work towards?
C G
And is progress only science in action?
F G
Does it truly have a moral dimension?
C G
Was the century a dream before failure?
F G
Have we settled for this present existence?
C G
Was it only necessary for peasants?
F G
Would I really give up ego involvement?
C G
Is there any global movement for justice?
F G
In a world of only selfish survival?
C G
Because it’s obvious we’re going to serfdom
F G
If we accept the barbary of the system
C G
But would I really want to work in a factory?
F G
Would I really make my art for a leader?
C G
Would Mao be in the thumb of our music?
F G
Or is everything just horror and power?
[Chorus]
C G F G
These are massive, giant, troubling, consuming thoughts saturating my thinking
C G F C
But I think she’ll just think it’s annoying so I won’t bring it up
G F
She says “it just doesn’t make any sense, you should think about your art
G C G F C
And your friends and about our relationship.”
[Verse 3]
C G F C
My girlfriend doesn’t question the psychology of Charles Manson
G
What does it say about the human condition?
F G
Why are people so receptive to listen?
C G
And why is confidence alone such a magnet?
F G
It’s unfair the way some people have it
C G
And they seem to do the things that they want to
F G
We all just get away with all that we can do
C G
Because it’s only sexiness that has any value
F G
And all society just falls by the wayside
C G
Into the hierarchy of cult and apparent
F G
And it’s genetics to be masters of victim
C G
And does hedonism go with corruption?
F G
Why are we drawn to dramas of domination?
[Chorus]
C G F G
These are massive, giant, troubling, consuming thoughts that I'm thinking
C G F C
But I think she’ll just think it’s annoying so I won’t bring it up
G F
She says “why are you thinking of him, you should just think about your family
G C G F C
And friends and about our relationship.”
[Verse 4]
C G F C
My girlfriend doesn’t wonder while driving about the emptiness of human existence
G F G
How can we make any decision if it’s only arbitrary opinion?
C G
And why should anyone have a baby?
F G
Create another brain of dissatisfaction?
C G
If we’re only biological robots
F G
With a program that is mostly feel anxious
C G
Except for moments of brief distraction
F G
While fulfilling simple functions like eating
C G
While being ordered to enjoy reproducing
F G
But how can doing what you’re told be fulfilling?
C G
All is misery or patent delusions
F G
To just fill ourselves with comforting nonsense
C G
All terrified of seeing it clearly
F G
And then dying out with no revolution
C G
All tumbling down a mountain to nothing
F G
While feeling greedy and mean and unhappy
C G
Basically a meaningless fungus
F G
Obviously boring and pointless
C G
And we’ll probably have a baby despite this
F G
And be responsible for someone’s confusion
C G
Why subject them to a long life of work?
F G
Or feel horrible if they should die young?
C G
Or feel horrible if we die and leave them?
F G
The only happiness is if something’s funny
C G F G
But what does funniness even mean?
[Chorus]
C G F G
These are massive, giant, troubling, consuming burdens weighing on my thinking
C G F C
But I think that she’ll just think I’m annoying and I don’t want to lose her
G F G
She says “why are you talking so much, how come you never talk about us?
C G F C
Let’s just think quiet and nice thoughts and about our relationship”
[Outro]
C G F C
