Personal Responsibility
I said I’d clean the chimney
So just calm down
It’s stupid to complain
It already burnt down
I said I’d fix the fridge
So what’s the big deal?
Food’s all spoiled
Let’s go out for a meal
I said I’d feed the fish
I know I forgot
I’m sorry they’re all dead
But at least I’m not
I said I’d cook dinner
But I’m a busy guy
I hear your stomach growling
I can’t imagine why
I said I’d do the laundry
It’s just as well
I hate to tell ya’
But you really smell?
I said I’d pay the bills
And here you are
Just nagging and moaning
They already took your car
I don’t go around telling people what to do
But you need to grow up, if you want my view
If you want it done right, then do it on your own
By the way, I’m outta’ cash. Could your buddy get a loan?
