[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                       G
Let’s just both sit here quiet and calmly
        C                           G
And you probably should be thinking first
          F                             G
About how glad you’ll be if you do some work
                C             F    G   C
And about our relationship.”


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


[Chorus]
          C               G                    F                      G
These are massive, giant, troubling, consuming thoughts saturating my thinking
      C                            G                            F    C
But I think she’ll just think it’s annoying so I won’t bring it up

                                   G                 F
She says “it just doesn’t make any sense, you should think about your art
         G                       C             G  F  C
And your friends and about our relationship.”


[Verse 3]
   C                  G               F                  C
My girlfriend doesn’t question the psychology of Charles Manson
                                     G
What does it say about the human condition?
        F                      G
Why are people so receptive to listen?
           C                       G
And why is confidence alone such a magnet?
       F                        G
It’s unfair the way some people have it
         C                               G
And they seem to do the things that they want to
            F                         G
We all just get away with all that we can do
                  C                     G
Because it’s only sexiness that has any value
        F                         G
And all society just falls by the wayside
         C                        G
Into the hierarchy of cult and apparent
         F                         G
And it’s genetics to be masters of victim
         C                    G
And does hedonism go with corruption?
           F                       G
Why are we drawn to dramas of domination?


[Chorus]
          C               G                    F                 G
These are massive, giant, troubling, consuming thoughts that I'm thinking
      C                            G                            F    C
But I think she’ll just think it’s annoying so I won’t bring it up

                                  G                    F
She says “why are you thinking of him, you should just think about your family
    G                       C             G  F  C
And friends and about our relationship.”


[Verse 4]
   C                               G                 F                    C
My girlfriend doesn’t wonder while driving about the emptiness of human existence
                      G              F                G
How can we make any decision if it’s only arbitrary opinion?
               C             G
And why should anyone have a baby?
               F                G
Create another brain of dissatisfaction?
         C               G
If we’re only biological robots
       F                           G
With a program that is mostly feel anxious
           C                   G
Except for moments of brief distraction
         F                             G
While fulfilling simple functions like eating
            C                     G
While being ordered to enjoy reproducing
            F                             G
But how can doing what you’re told be fulfilling?
       C                   G
All is misery or patent delusions
        F                              G
To just fill ourselves with comforting nonsense
          C                G
All terrified of seeing it clearly
         F                      G
And then dying out with no revolution
             C                  G
All tumbling down a mountain to nothing
              F                      G
While feeling greedy and mean and unhappy
C                       G
Basically a meaningless fungus
F                    G
Obviously boring and pointless
          C                        G
And we’ll probably have a baby despite this
          F                          G
And be responsible for someone’s confusion
        C                          G
Why subject them to a long life of work?
        F                           G
Or feel horrible if they should die young?
        C                      G
Or feel horrible if we die and leave them?
         F                           G
The only happiness is if something’s funny
    C         G              F      G
But what does funniness even mean?


[Chorus]
          C               G                    F                      G
These are massive, giant, troubling, consuming burdens weighing on my thinking
      C                                 G                           F         C
But I think that she’ll just think I’m annoying and I don’t want to lose her

                                 G         F                         G
She says “why are you talking so much, how come you never talk about us?
           C                    G                        F            C
Let’s just think quiet and nice thoughts and about our relationship”
