lyrics

Everybody wants to go to your piss reekin' abode
Well honey, i've grown tired of the smell
It's the place that you call home, well honey you're on your own
Rather have a nose full of brimstone in hell

Everybody wants to go to your piss reekin' abode
Well honey, I can't take the chance to stink
I'm a well-respected man, and if i'm seen on your land
I may never be considered clean again

Everybody wants to go, everybody wants to go
Everybody loves the smell of urine in their nose
And there's a girl in the other room
That i'm to shy to go talk to
But the only reason she doesn't love me is because
we've yet to be introduced

Everybody wants to go to your feces creek
Well honey i've grown tired of the sludge
If I can't go my preferred speed then this just ain't what I need
Rather sit at home and watch the toilet flush

Everybody wants to swim, everybody wants to swim
Nobody realizes the deep shit that their in
And there's a woman in the other room
Not confident enough to go talk to
But the only reason she doesn't hate me is because she knows I gotta bone to pick with you

Everybody wants to go (x3)

Everybody wants to go (x3)
And there's somebody in the other room
That i'm too afraid to go talk to
And the only reason he exists
Is because I gave you the time of day

I gave you the time of day (x4)
