Strum
D-DU-UDU
Troubles,  I know troubles,  troubles are what I know  best
Not  the kind that make you a rebel, just the  kind that make you depressed
Confidential  conversation spoken without hesitation  half a decibel above silently
Violently  or quietly I invite them in sighingly,  everyone confides in  me
 Like a  dirty sponge  soaking up  the misery of the world
 I guess  someone's got to wipe their filthy  mouth
 An ugly  sponge,  heavy, full  of dirt and ugly words
And  it's about to  wring me  out
 I used to have bigger ears and more years to see the tears
 And to hear the fears of my fellow man
 Now it is the opposite, I think those folks are full of shit
 And I find it hard to give a good goddamn
 Wring me out and get me clean in a metaphorical washing machine
 Kerosene, bleach, and alcohol
 I'm constipated with this hatred and if I was God I would have made it
 Impossible to speak or hear at all
