Adam Carroll - Bubble Gum Or Bad Karma

A ^Gcouple three bucks for a can of snuff was ^Cmoney poorly ^Gspent ^CDidn't see a girl or a ^Gcar around so I threw it on the hot ce^Dment Well I ^Gparked the car and I went to school when ^CI came back in ^Ghaste There was a ^Cbig ol wad of ^Gbubble gum that was ^Dsitting in its ^Gplace

Chorus:

The ^Csticky side of the ^Gyin and yang on my ^Dshoes cramps my ^Gstyle Some ^Cjoker's chomping on a ^Gbig league chew with a ^A7big fat Buddha ^Dsmile Counting ^Gout my change from the I-ching I^C can't help but hold a^G grudge Was it ^Cbubble gum or ^Gbad karma, let my ^Dguru be the ^Gjudge Was it ^Cbubble gum or ^Gbad karma, let my ^Dguru be the ^Gjudge

My foot got stuck when I hit the gas and I swerved to miss a skunk And I ram into a bus load full of ten Tibetan monks The bus was wrecked, nobody got hurt, but they cussed me really loud I said I guess this was the first time that y'all broke your silence vow I said please don't call the cops man and I offered them some wine We played Chinese checkers and they beat me every time They stole the car and they grabbed the wine they said you were bound to lose And I got left on the side of the road with bubble gum on my shoes Chorus:

I limped my way back into town and the blues came down on me Couldn't get back to my humble home cause the monks had took my keys Sat down on the doormat and I hung my head and wept Spent the night trying to meditate out on my front porch steps I think Ho Chi Minh's got herpes but Confucious was really cool Bubble gum makes you stutter, snuff just makes you drool Well I might come back as the Dalai Lama or I might come back as a clown But I hope that things go better in my next time around Chorus:

Might come back as the Dalai Lama, Might not come back at all Might come back as a holy cow grazing in Nepal Or I might come back as an outlaw rickshaw driver named Omar I wanna be picking the Hindu blues with Ravi Shankar
