Dirty Pool lyrics

the water is black the coast was clear
now they`re sweating dollars dripping fear
what a way to end the fiscal year
mopping up the dirty pool
mopping up the dirty pool

they`ve given us a new career
it`s the make work project of theyear
oh dear god bless the volunteer
mopping up the dirty pool
mopping up the dirty pool

your way can`t stay
your way cant stay won`t stay can`t stay
mopping up the dirty pool

this ship of steel is a leaky tin
spilt milk tears run down your chin
this crying shame`s a fuckin` sin
mopping up the dirty pool

a rusty tanker`s belly a fault somewhere it seems
bled gallons to the ocean and poisoned the marine
the shoreline`s tarred and feathered
and the seagulls look like crows
the unofficial explanation
`shit happens don`t you know`

your way can`t stay
your way cant stay won`t stay
can`t stay won`t stay
mopping up the dirty pool
your way is the wrong way
your way can`t stay won`t stay can`t stay
mopping up the dirty
mopping up the dirty
mopping up the dirty pool
