Eels is an American alternative/acoustic indie rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as "Mr. E" or simply E. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels were officially founded in 1995 when Jonathan 'Butch' Norton and E met Tommy Walter. The name "Eels" was chosen so that the band's records would be close to E's solo records in an alphabetical ordering. In 1996 the band released their debut album Beautiful Freak.

GG/F#Em7D They told me that I couldn’t come back here again Cadd9Cadd9/BAsus4D Took me for some kind of fool GG/F#Em7D Said I was doing things that never should be done Cadd9Cadd9/BAsus4D But I don’t care about their rules
EmC As if I cared ‘bout the little minds GGG/F# Em7 In the little heads of the herd EmC There’s nothing you could dream G Would be more absurd
GG/F#Em7D And everybody knows these are rock hard times Cadd9Cadd9/B I gotta make it through Asus4DG These are rock hard times
EmC I don’t know what it is they’re trying to do to me GGG/F# Em/7 Make me into some sick joke EmC But no one’s laughing, and least of all not me CG It’s hard to laugh as you choke
Hollywood lies piled up to the sky Floating your way soon Hope you like the rotten stench of doom
And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times
I don’t know what it is they think I’m gonna try They don’t know what they need to fear The surest sign that the end is coming soon Is right there in the bathroom mirror
And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times These are rock hard times
