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 wise men say
But I can't get away from those beasties
There's just no Fnording way!

I'm a rebel who has a Cockney accent. Where I was really born doesn't matter. I've had the accent my whole life though nobody else in my cookie cutter family did. I'm a rebel in a family of sheep.
