Cleaning Carnations

One, two, three, four

Called out of work cuz I'm feeling run down

Didn't see the point in cleaning all those carnations

Yet I still feel disappointed in myself

Cuz someone's gotta do it

Someone's gotta do it

Someone's gotta do it

But it ain't me

Seems like everyone is giving up these days

Leaving their jobs, leaving the city

Something deep inside them's changing

A silence has been growin'

While all around, it's much too loud

But they don't wanna do it

They don't wanna do it

They don't wanna do it anymore

Ran the way back home

To find my love waiting

He says he's so glad I'm not away

Cleaning all those carnations
