C                    Am          C               F
I am a sea cucumber, waiting to float across the sea
              Dm
But me, I'll never touch the clouds
Dm
Or stand out of the crowd
                        G                 C
I can't break out, I'm bound by gravity

[Verse]
                           Am         C         F
We all are sea cucumbers, stuck in cucumber 'ciety
             Dm
'Cuz we turn out just like our folks
Dm
We laugh at the same jokes
                   G                    F
We have our hopes, we relive patiently

[Chorus]
Am     F                C
Go on, go on, life in a can
Am     F                C
Go on, go on, living as planned
Am     F               G
Go on, go on, cucumber man
