Why Am I Painting the Living Room? - Lou & Peter Berryman

Why Am I Painting the Living Room? Lyrics

WHY AM I PAINTING THE LIVINGROOM?
Holes in the ozone the size of Brazil
Barges of trash in the chewable breeze
Pools of industrial wasteland pate’
Sulfur dioxide dissolving the trees
Pretty soon it will all end with a boom
Why am I painting my living room?
Why am I painting my living room?
Why am I painting my living room?
Why am I painting my living room?
Why am I painting my living room?
Why am I painting my living room?
Why am I painting my living room?
I have a whole day off
‘Cause it’s a Saturday

There is a bluegrass band
Somewhere along the bay
Look at the lilacs bloom
Why am I painting my living room?
I hear the bluebird sing
Don’t let the day go by
Look at the blossoms blow
Over the blue blue sky
All with a wild perfume
And here I am painting the living room?
Ah yes, I can see how my tombstone will read
Here lies someone of exceptional worth
Though she did not do a lot for her kind
Or help hold together this crumbling earth
Here lies a woman they’re saying of whom
Sure had a good-looking living room….
