Why Am I Painting the Living Room?

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….
