[Verse]
EChildren are lovely F#mbefore they get ugly and G#mlearn to do bad Astuff
EFlowers are pretty F#mbefore they get shitty and G#mrot and turn to Adust
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard that Blife is a wheel and you can't make it stop
If you F#mtry it'll flatten your head
It's a Bcircle of shit we're in the middle of it
But Asoon we'll all be Bdead
[Verse]
Like everybody Eelse that ever F#mlived before the G#mthings you make fall Ato the floor
And Enobody knows how F#mhard you tried it's G#mbeen that way since the Astart of time
[Pre-Chorus]
There was a Bcaveman that did some amazing things
But F#mnobody here gives a fuck
And in a Bthousand years they'll feel the same
ATowards all the things you've Bdone
[Chorus]
So don't Eworry what might give you cancer
Or G#mstay up nights just wanting answers
                                       D   B[Fill]
It's just a crap shoot, but it's mostly crap
EThings start off they're so terrific
G#mThey'll fuck up it's scientific
DEntropy, uncertainty won't Ayield to you, or you
E F#m G#m A
E F#m G#m A
[Verse]
ELove at first sight on a F#mbeautiful night and a G#mfeeling is so Adivine
Gets Esucked down the toilet cause F#msomething will spoil it with the G#mgood times left behiAnd you
[Pre-Chorus]
BDon't try to figure out who's at fault
F#mPowerful forces abound
Like a Btwig on a river in the universe
ATomorrow you'll probably Bdrown
