Shit City Lyrics by The Minor Thirds

Dishwasher Thief

2004

[Verse]
\nThis house is filled with enough shit to stink up the neighborhood
\nIt’s enough to keep the cops at bay
\nAh, the fumes from our rooms can’t be doing either of us any good
\nBut we might as well stay, they’d only catch us if we tried to move away
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd if this were a ship, we could sink it
\nIf this were a balloon, we could pop it
\nIf this were a frying pan, we could jump into the fire or sauté ourselves away
\nBut this, this is our bed, and we have to lie
\n
\n[Verse]
\nAnd the flies swarm and they sing all night long
\nAnd all night long we sing along
\nAnd we clap and we dance and we kick up the shit
\nBut when we look the next morning, it’s as if nothing has changed
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd if this were a plot, we could sink it
\nIf this were a zit, we could pop it
\nIf this were a frying pan, we could jump into the fire or sauté ourselves away
\nBut this, this is our home and home is wherever you’re hanged\n\n
