Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around with a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
An' your hair is all gone...
(The geek shall inherit nothin')

A^Bb
You say your life's a bum deal
A^Bb

Bb maj7 C
And number one ain't you
Bb maj7 C
You ain't even number two!


Those Jesus freaks, well they're friendly but
The shit they believe has got their minds all shut
An' they don't even care
When the church takes a cut
Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'

So whaddya do?

Eat that pork, eat that ham

Do what you wanna, do what you will
