[Intro]
[Verse 1]
N.C.
You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here. F#5DeterioG5ratF#a. F#DeterioG5ratF#a. G, D7sus4/G, G, D7sus4/GG Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
D7sus4/G And remember what comfort there may be in owning Ca piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive Ampersons, unless you are in need of sleep.
D Rotate your tires.
Speak Emglowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well Ctheir advice, even though they be turkeys.
D Know what to kiss, and when.
Am Consider that two wrongs never make a rigEmht,Am but that three do.
Wherever possCible, put people on hold.
Be comfortedD that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
GAnd despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big D7sus4/Gfuture in computer maintenance.
[Chorus 1]
You are a Ffluke of the uCniverse
You have no rDight to be here
And whether you can A#hear it or not,
The Auniverse is Glaughing behind your bEack
[Verse 2]
F RememberC The Pueblo.
Strive at Dall times to bend, fold, spindle, A#and mutilate.
A Know yourself.G If you need help, call the FBEI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs, Gespecially with those persons closest to you -
D7sus4/G That lemon on your left, for instance.
C Be assured that a walk through the ocean of Ammost souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
DFall not in love therefore. It will stick to your Emface.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: Cbirds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
AndD let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
Am Hire people with hooks.
Em For a good time, Amcall 606-4311.C Ask for Ken.
Take heart in the bedeepening gloom that your Ddog is finally getting enough cheese.
G And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot,
It could onD7sus4/Gly be worse in Milwaukee.
[Chorus 2]
You are a Ffluke of the uCniverse (You are a fluke of the universe)
You have no rDight to be here (You have no right to be here)
And whether you can A#hear it or not, (And whether you can hear it or not)
The Auniverse is Glaughing behind your bEack (The universe is laughing behind your back)
[Verse 3]
F Therefore, Cmake peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to bDe - hairy thunderer, or cosmic A#muffin.
AWith all its hopes, dreamGs, promises, and urban reEnewal,
The Eworld continues to deteriorate.
[Chorus]
N.C.
Give up!You are a Ffluke of the uCniverse
You have no rDight to be here
And whether you can A#hear it or not,
The Auniverse is Glaughing behind your bEack (repeat to fade)
