Trash day  in Beverly Hills,
 All the sad little mommas  with their happy  little pills,
 That flirt with the lawn  boys as they clean  out the pools,
 While the Mexican nannies  take the children  to school.
 There's so  much to be and nothing  to do,
 How did  it ever end  up that way.
Trash day  in Nashville,  Tennessee,
 No-one can smell  this religion  but me.
 I see it in hairstyles  of young  Christian men,
 That drink, smoke and fuck  like the world's  gonna end.
 And Sunday  will come and we'll all  just pretend
 That it never  really happened  that way,
 happened that way,
 happened that way,
 happened that way.
 I can tell  a lie by the way  that you walk,
 and I can hear  the confessions in the way  you talk,
 and all  the little actions that give  yourself  away,
 So lie still don't  talk, don't breathe,  I'll be over soon.
Trash day  in Atlanta  GA,
 I can hear the sanitary  trucks from two  miles away.
 I've said everything  that this town  has to say,
 Won't you bring me your waste  and let me throw  them away.
Maybe  I was wrong to call  your heart a spade,
 But I wish  it didn't happen  that way,
 happen that way,
 happen that way,
 happen that way.
Ahhh...
