Intro
C G D G x4
Verse 1
Where was I? I forgot the point that I was making
I said if I was smart that I would save up for a piece of string
And a rock to wind the string around
Pre-Chorus 1
Everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
Everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
Chorus 1
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
Verse 2
If I were a carpenter, I'd hammer on my piglet
I'd collect the seven dollars and I'd buy a big prosthetic forehead
and wear it on my real head
Pre-Chorus 2
Everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Chorus 2
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
Prosthetic foreheads on their heads
But everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Bridge
Chorus 3
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn their foreheads down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
