1000 Birds

I could mop up these floors as many times as you like

But it won't change much in this shithole dive

With stickers and Sharpie on every visible surface

'Cause I'm still me wherever I am

Can't just up and leave, though it's a comforting plan

I'll still be sweeping when I should be sleeping

And sleeping when I should clock in

What's the point in cleaning?

Look out the window, you'll see them

A 1000 birds shitting on my dreams

I could cry now and laugh later

Or cry later and also now

A 1000 birds made a 1000 turds

On my naive little hopeful world

There's a billionaire CEO parakeet

With a fat cigar hangin' out his beak

He ordered the surf and the turf

But he doesn't believe in tipping

Back on the ground, I'm wearing rubber gloves

Giving these porcelain thrones a very thorough scrub

I wanna make a scene

Throw drinks and scream

It's so embarrassing

"Dear valued employee

You're family to me

But we're so understaffed

The budget's cut in half

So thanks for staying late

And coming early

You know your life is my money"

What's the point in cleaning?

Look out the window, you'll see them

It's a 1000 birds straight-up shitting on my dreams

I could cry now and laugh later

Or cry later and also now

A 1000 birds made a 1000 turds

On my stupid little world

What's the point in cleaning?

Look out the window, you'll see them

A 1000 birds shitting on my dreams

I could cry now and laugh later

Or cry later and also now

A 1000 birds made a 1000 turds

On my naive little hopeful world
