Key: F major
Verse 1
D
F#
If there's a God, He is laughing at us
Effington could be
a wonderful laughing place.
I can see it from the highway
and I'm wondering
The effing in the yards,
effing in their cars,
effing in the trailers and the backroads
And the parking lots of Effington,
making my way to normal Illinois
Maybe I should ditch this little white riddle
on the interstate
And start a new effing life
In Effington
I could change my name,
grow a beard, start a family
Or I could just keep on moving on,
moving on, moving on, moving on
Not stop till I get to normal

And then the people who live in normal
can buy the movies that
I'll make in a Fington
That's what normal people do
Do normal people do it too?
Normal people do it, too
Normal people do it, people do it, people do it,

people do it, people, people
