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 Let’s just both sit here quiet and
G calmly
C And you probably should be thinking
G first
F About how glad you’ll be if you do
G some work
C F And about our relationship.”
G C [Verse 2]
G My girlfriend doesn’t worry about
F the vision Mao Tse-Tung had for
C China
G Was agrarian reform for the better?
F G Or is cynicism part of our culture?
C Why did people fight and die for
G their freedom?
F G Was Utopia a lie as a concept?
C Is the Western model really our
G future?
F G Is there nothing any better to work towards?
C And is progress only science in
G action?
F Does it truly have a moral
G dimension?
C Was the century a dream before
G failure?
F Have we settled for this present
G existence?
C G Was it only necessary for peasants?
F Would I really give up ego
G involvement?
C Is there any global movement for
G justice?
F G In a world of only selfish survival?
C Because it’s obvious we’re going to
G serfdom
F If we accept the barbary of the
G system
C But would I really want to work in
G a factory?
F Would I really make my art for a
G leader?
C Would Mao be in the thumb of our
G music?

F Or is everything just horror and
G power? [Chorus]
C G These are massive, giant,
F troubling, consuming thoughts
G saturating my thinking
C But I think she’ll just think it’s
G F C annoying so I won’t bring it up She says “it just doesn’t make any
G F sense, you should think about your art
G And your friends and about our
C G F C relationship.” [Verse 3]
C G My girlfriend doesn’t question the
F C psychology of Charles Manson What does it say about the human
G condition?
F Why are people so receptive to
G listen?
C And why is confidence alone such a
G magnet?
F G It’s unfair the way some people have it
C And they seem to do the things that
G they want to
F We all just get away with all that
G we can do
C Because it’s only sexiness that has
G any value
F And all society just falls by the
G wayside
C Into the hierarchy of cult and
G apparent
F And it’s genetics to be masters of
G victim
C And does hedonism go with
G corruption?
F Why are we drawn to dramas of
G domination? [Chorus]
C G These are massive, giant,
F G troubling, consuming thoughts that I'm thinking
C But I think she’ll just think it’s
G F C annoying so I won’t bring it up She says “why are you thinking of
G F him, you should just think about your family
G And friends and about our
C G F C relationship.” [Verse 4]
C My girlfriend doesn’t wonder while
G F driving about the emptiness of
C human existence
G How can we make any decision if
F G it’s only arbitrary opinion?
C G And why should anyone have a baby?
F Create another brain of
G dissatisfaction?
C G If we’re only biological robots
F With a program that is mostly feel
G anxious
C Except for moments of brief
G distraction
F While fulfilling simple functions
G like eating
C While being ordered to enjoy
G reproducing
F But how can doing what you’re told
G be fulfilling?
C G All is misery or patent delusions
F To just fill ourselves with
G comforting nonsense
C G All terrified of seeing it clearly
F And then dying out with no
G revolution
C All tumbling down a mountain to
G nothing
F While feeling greedy and mean and
G unhappy
C G Basically a meaningless fungus
F G Obviously boring and pointless
C And we’ll probably have a baby
G despite this
F And be responsible for someone’s
G confusion
C Why subject them to a long life of
G work?
F Or feel horrible if they should die
G young?
C G Or feel horrible if we die and leave them?
F The only happiness is if
G something’s funny
C G F But what does funniness even
G mean? [Chorus]
C G These are massive, giant,
F troubling, consuming burdens
G weighing on my thinking
C But I think that she’ll just think
G I’m annoying and I don’t want to
F C lose her She says “why are you talking so
G F much, how come you never talk
G about us?
C Let’s just think quiet and nice
G F thoughts and about our
C relationship”
