The Mess Is My Revenge
Strength & Defiance 5:57
Lyrics
I'm a cleaner
I'm a wiper
I'm a trash bin taker
I'm a sweeper
I'm a mover
I'm a clean bed maker
Yes
They leave it all for me
And it's everything I see
And I do it all for free
I'm the cleaning nominee
I can't even referee.
I'm a washer
I'm a duster
I'm a vacuum pusher
I'm a mover
I'm a folder
I'm a dinner cooker
I do it all for them
Then I do it all again
Then I'll do it all again
Some are full grown men
Inviting over friends
Their mess is like revenge
Their mess is their revenge
So I'll do it all again
And I'll do it all!
Again!
Then one day I snapped
Couldn't take a nap
Couldn't eat a snack
The mess it had me trapped
Their clothes were on my bed
The chaos was widespread
It's got inside my head
Twisted cleaning into dread
I'll do something else instead
Something else instead!
Doing something else!
Instead!
I've lost my mind
If I can't dine
Then you won't find
Not any kind
Of normalcy
I've lost my mind
If I can't shine
Then you will find
So many things
Disorderly
Their beds were made
Of garbage bags
The dishes washed
With old floor wax
Their clothes were hung
On curtain rods
The cups were switched
With flower pots
The dust is kept inside the fridge
The food is crusty, just a smidge
The floors are sticky all the time
The table tops have lots of grime
To get around you have to climb
That mountain mess, it all is mine!
I do this all for them
Then I do it all again
Then I'll do it all again
Some are full grown men
Inviting over friends
The mess is my revenge
My mess is my revenge
So I'll do it all again!
And I'll do it all!
Again!
I'm a messer
I'm a twister
I'm a old bread keeper
I'm a trasher
I'm a wrecker
I'm a garbage retriever
Yes
They left it all for me
And it's everything I see
And I did it all for free
Was the cleaning designee
And I couldn't referee
So I learned to love debris
It's now everything you see
And I giggle loud with glee
Oh, I giggle loud with glee
I giggle out loud!
With!
Glee!
