Lyrics without distraction HERE

In 1993, the Canadian folk-rock band "Crash Test Dummies" released their second album "God Shuffled His Feet", their most successful up to date. Most likely, it's going to stay that way: Roberts have decided not to write more albums; they only result in a loss since streaming became common. It's a pity, but a fact.
This ridiculous song, released as a single - with a meaning deeper than the crazy surface - captured the world. The kids caught that I had a voice as dark and dry as Robert's, and went mmmmmming around me all the time to annoy me ... Jeez! I just *had* to adopt it.
Roberts can seemingly write songs about anything or nothing. Now living in New York, he started up a school for aspiring songwriters. Though nowadays, he prefers collaborating with other musicians, and going on stage. And the Dummies also still do so, every now and then ... now, writing 2024.

once there was this kid who
F           C             F7                 C
got into an accident and couldn't come to school but
F                G    C
when he finally came back
G    C    F                C          G11       ... G ... G11 ... G  
his hair had turned from black into bright white
    F7                C            F7              Fb5  Csus4
he said that it was from when the cars had smashed so hard

Em    Bm     Em    Bm    Csus4 ... G ... Csus4 ... G
mm mm mm mm  mm mm mm mm

C        Am        Dm        G
but both girl and boy were glad
C        Am          Dm          G  Csus4 ... G ... Csus4 ... G
that one kid had it worse than that
