dirty sponge

verse 1
Dm G Dm
troubles , i know troubles , troubles are what i know best
Dm G Dm
not the kind that make you a rebel , just the kind that make you depressed
Dm G Dm
confidential conversation spoken without hesitation half a decibel above silently
Dm G Dm
violently or quietly i invite them in sighingly , everyone confides in me

chorus
F C G
like a dirty sponge soaking up the misery of the world
C F
i guess someone’s got to wipe their filthy mouth
F C Dm
an ugly sponge , heavy , full of dirt and ugly words
Dm A Dm
and it’s about to wring me out

verse 2
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

verse 3
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
