[Verse 1]
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 2]
C                         Am         C          F
We all are sea cucumbers, stuck in cucumber 'ciety
               Dm
'Cause we turn out just like our folks
   Dm
We laugh at the same jokes
                      G             C
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     Fm              G
Go on, go on, cucumber man

[Outro]
C    Am  C  F
 Dm   G    F  G  C
