People should get beat up  for stating their beliefs
           Eb (D/Eb - C - Bb)      Eb
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
           Eb    D/Eb    C  Bb   Eb

She's not really there

The plane can never land

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
People should get beat up  for stating their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
Because he knows there's no such thing

Verse 3:
What's the sense in ever thinking about the tomb
When you're much too busy returning to the womb?

Chorus:
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
Because he knows there's no such thing
