Dirty Sponge

VERSE 1
Dm                       G                        Dm
Troubles, I know troubles, troubles are what I know best
Dm                                          G                    Dm
Not the kind that make you a rebel, just the kind that make you depressed
Dm                                                G                      Dm
Confidential conversation spoken without hesitation half a decibel above silently
Dm                                             G                   Dm
Violently or quietly I invite them in sighingly, everyone confides in me

CHORUS
      F         C            G   
Like a dirty sponge soaking up the misery of the world
       C                               F
I guess someone's got to wipe their filthy mouth
     F       C             Dm
An ugly sponge, heavy, full of dirt and ugly words
Dm             A         Dm
And it's about to wring me out

VERSE 2                                       
I used to have bigger ears and more years to see the tears
And to hear the fears of my fellow man
Now it is the opposite, I think those folks are full of shit
And I find it hard to give a good goddamn

VERSE 3
Wring me out and get me clean in a metaphorical washing machine
Kerosene, bleach, and alcohol
I'm constipated with this hatred and if I was God I would have made it
Impossible to speak or hear at all
