we do what we must because we can
Cm F7
For the good of all of us
F#
except the ones who are dead
[chorus]
C# G# F# C#
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
C# G# F# C#

and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
F# F7
for the people who are still alive

A# Gm A#
I'm not even angry
Gm A# Gm A# Gm

Cm F7
Anyway, this cake is great

Look at me, still talking when there's science to do
C# G# F# C#

Gm A# Gm A#
And believe me, I am still alive!
Gm A# Gm A#
