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]

as life goes by you in a blur

Leaves you murmuring a dirty word

stupidity a mental scar

I was pissing on the desert sands,

when the desert whispered to me,
A5 ( RIFF4 )
"damn! isn't this a shame?

things will never be the same..."

I run this gas and oasis

I was a teenage dinosaur,

stoned and obsolete

I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed

I got so fucking pissed
[Chorus]

using my hand for an ashtray

I'm the repo-man
