Liner Notes
#thegoodplace #filk
I've had a dry week for songwriting. The line "Buzz off, Bambadjan" began to bug me this morning and I finally have a new song, yay.
SPOILER ALERT. Big damn spoilers for the finale of Season 1 of The Good Place. You have been warned!

Lyrics
(Capo 2)
CHORUS
C
Buzz off, Bambadjan
F C
We don’t need you here
C
Fork off, Vicky-poo
D G
Your purpose is so clear
F C
Don’t try to hide it, Michael
F Am
It’s plain as day to me
F C
You’ve had your fun, but now it’s done
G C
Ya basic, don’t you see?
V1
F
Hey Michael! Hey, big guy -
C
I’m seeing through your scheme
F
Through all our interactions
G
There’s one recurring theme
F
Anywhere that you have been
C Am
One of us is sad
D
Or stressed or freaked or lonely
G
Or even going mad
V2
Holy forking shirtballs
It finally came to me!
We’re supposed to be in heaven
So beautiful and free
But really - frozen yogurt?
Man, that is such a drag
And I will bet you knew it
It was just your running gag
CHORUS
V3
Tahani’s sad that Jianyu
Won’t say a forking word
Meanwhile Chidi’s going crazy
Because I am just a turd
No polishing can brighten
No matter how he tried
With every class in ethics
To be my helpful guide
Meanwhile
V4
I am stressed because I know
That I’m the worst one here
Everyone is perfect
And I just want a beer
Jason knew it early on
But because he’s such a goof
I didn’t take him seriously
Turns out he knew the truth!
CHORUS
V5
So now, let’s be honest
You gave us quite a show
I know exactly where we are
And now they’re going to know
Guys, they’ll never send a train
They can’t; there is no way
We’re already in the Bad Place!
There’s just no more to say!
CHORUS
Outtro
F C
You’ve had your fun, but now it’s done
G C
Ya basic, don’t you see?
