The misfits are cult rock and roll 
           A               E 
Worshipped by a few but ignored on the whole. 
E                     D 
Meet the Feebles is a film cult classic 
     A                          E 
It?s basically unknown but some say it?s fantastic. 

     E                      D  
Most women that I meet seem totally unphased 
     A                                    E 
?Til sometimes there?s somebody who seems totally amazed. 
          E                    D 
I may not be in magazines as a heart-throb face 
         A                               E 
But in a few devoted hearts I?ve found a strong fanbase. 


E D I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show A E I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by a lady in the know E D When you?re a cult boyfriend life?s always intense A E They love me or they hate me no one?s on the fence
Verso E D Cerebus is cult comic book series. A E It?s got fans but it?s never found in movies or in theories. E D WFMU is a cult radio station A E Always tuned to by a few devoted fans around the nation. E D For every time I couldn?t get a second date or even first, A E Why does one think I?m the best when all the rest think I?m the worst? E D All of those times no one at all wanted to know. A E If I?m really all that awesome wouldn?t more people think so?
E D I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me, A E It?s always been quality not quantity. E D A cult boyfriend?s like a record in a bargain bin A E No one knows its worth ?til a collector comes in.
E D A E (x2) Verso E D Hmm, who are some cult literary names I could honour? A E Maybe J. G. Ballard or Flannery O?Connor. E D Haggis and fugu, that?s like food for cult eaters. A E Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Father Yod, they?re cult leaders. E D Anyways the point being, do I have to magical? A E Can?t we date a few months and then move on normal and casual? E D Suicidally alone and then totally smothered ? A E It?s so much pressure when you go from one extreme to the other.

E D A E (x2) Final E D And this song probably ain?t gonna go very far beyond an open mic. A E It?s guaranteed though, two or three people are really gonna like it. E
