organ in the intro - E
 
How does a duck know what direction south is?
 
And how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?
A E
You can cut a chicken's head off
A E A F# E
and it will keep on running and twitching
 
{Chorus}
A E
When everything seems planned out
A E E
when everything seems nicely planned out
A E A B
well the human race will come and smack your face
 
How come all my body parts so nicely fit together?
 
All my organs doing their jobs, no help from me
A E
a person pulls a spider's leg out
A E
To watch it keep on moving and twitching.
 
(Chorus)
 
E A E B
Satan lives here on grain and earth, rain and air.
 
How come I just smoke and smoke and smoke
 
and curse every butt I spit out?
 
All night long I grind my teeth and I wake up when I cough
A E
You can put me in and iron lung
A E B E
and I will keep on breathing and twitching.
 
(Chorus)
additional line on Chorus:
 
A E B
You might be dead, Better keep your head
