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

[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
