I cannot escape them
No matter how I try
They wait for me everywhere
I cannot pass them by.

Driving down the street
I see »Jesus Is Lord«
And then immediately after
I hear the word »FNORD!«

Innocuous sayings and parables
And on the evening news
I hear the word »FNORD!«
And suddenly I'm confused

I sit alone in my room
And I'm feeling rather bored
I turn on the tube and guess what
I hear the word »FNORD!«

»Don't see the fnords and they won't eat you«
That's what I've heard the wisemen say
But I can't get away from those beasties
There's just no fucking way.
