You hide behind a mask too confused to show what's real
Plastic sense of value to go with your plastic way of life
Your self-righteousness is corrupted by your tendencies to avoid your lies
Paranoia - Hypocrite - You burn another bridge
"Your self-righteousness is corrupted by your tendencies to avoid
confrontations causing a
fake relationship with the ones who support you and as you burn yet another
bridge you
fall into the trap of becoming a hypocrite of all the accusations you once
slayed me with".
Afraid - Confused - Coward behind the mask
You hide behind a mask too confused to tell the truth
Backwards way of thinking to go with your backward way of life
"You relay a false confidence and a sense of friendly surroundings but behind
closed
doors you burn with hatred and loathing to anyone honest to not provide you
with a
total worship and give you full control which causes you to loose it and go
insane".
Afraid - Confused - Coward behind the mask
How could you not think that I won't even know
How could you not think that I can't even see
How could you not think that I don't even feel
How could I forget the words you said to me
How could I forget the things you took from me
How could I forget the way you were to me
I don't even care who's behind the mask
- don't fucking care who you really areWell I had just got out from the county prison
Doin' 90 days for non-support
Tried to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I talked
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was genius
The man said, "We got all that we can use."
Now I got them
Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
Workin' at the carwash blues.
Well I should be sittin' in an air conditioned
office with a swivel chair
Talkin' some trash to the secretary, sayin',
"Hey now mama, come on over here."
Instead I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
And walkin' home in soggy old shoes
With them steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
Workin' at the carwash blues
You know a man of my ability
He should be smokin' on a big cigar
But till I get myself straight,
I guess I'll just have to wait
In my rubber suit rubbin' these cars.
Well, all I can do is just shake my head
You might not believe that it's true
For working at this end of Niagara Falls
Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes
So baby, don't 'spect to see me
With no double martini
In any high-brow society news
Cause I got them
Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
Workin' at the carwash blues.
So baby, don't 'spect to see me

Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'

Yeah, I got them
Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
Workin' at the carwash blues.
