Go screaming through the universe

It's much too dangerous, it's much too strange

Here in a world that won't give Oprah

The radio won't play George and Merle

         G
To this garden we were given

    D                 A
And always took for granted

      G
It's like my daddy told me

         D                     A
"You just bloom where you're planted."

         G
Now you long to be delivered

From this world of pain and strife

That's a sorry substitution

        E
For a spiritual life
