Lyric Dirty Pool

the water is black the coast was clear
now they re sweating dollars dripping fear
what a way to end the fiscal year
mopping up the dirty pool
mopping up the dirty pool

they ve given us a new career
it s the make work project of theyear
oh dear god bless the volunteer
mopping up the dirty pool
mopping up the dirty pool

your way can t stay
your way cant stay won t stay can t stay
mopping up the dirty pool

this ship of steel is a leaky tin
spilt milk tears run down your chin
this crying shame s a fuckin sin
mopping up the dirty pool

a rusty tanker s belly a fault somewhere it seems
bled gallons to the ocean and poisoned the marine
the shoreline s tarred and feathered
and the seagulls look like crows
the unofficial explanation
"shit happens don t you know"

your way can t stay
your way cant stay won t stay
can t stay won t stay
mopping up the dirty pool
your way is the wrong way
your way can t stay won t stay can t stay
mopping up the dirty
mopping up the dirty
mopping up the dirty pool
