Dishes

from Brokedowntown (April 13th 2003) (2:27)

And when the rain falls you get no calls
Cuz no one wants to go out in the rain
It's all the people, stupid people
The sunshine's never welcome here, I wish it could rain for all year

Yet there's always something needing soap
And would the washer be not me? Nope
For washing dishes is the meaning of my life

So bring out all the lipsticked glasses, I'll go slow as molasses
And still I'll work while never kissing asses
Oh, I'll try and try for firing, what's more likely is retiring
For washing dishes is the meaning of my life

Now the hours ticking backwards
But at least I'm in the back room with no one here to bitch about their drinks
For today is dishwashing shift and I'll be here watching bubbles turn to crap
It's a strange old happy feeling, sends my senses all to reeling
For washing dishes is the meaning of my life

And when the storm clears, I'll still be here
Cleaning up and trying to guess what people ate
Brother, maybe not your bag but to me it ain't no drag
For washing dishes is the meaning of my life

And now the manager comes in, would singer worker be a sin?
"What are you doing?"
My job
