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
