| They took it away, they won’t put it back. |
| They made all the water turn to black. |
| Their deed is washed up on my shore. |
| It was better the way it was before. |
| Check out this place I used to go. |
| None of my children’ll ever know… never know. |
| Something’s wrong but it could be right. |
| It’s not like the day turning into night. |
| I’ll tell you about it, I’ll take you there. |
| You think about it, but you don’t dare |
| To act for what we all deserve. |
| All we need is a little nerve… lot of nerve. |
| They’d do almost anything if the price was right enough. |
| Well, I might do anything to clean it up. |
| Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. |
| Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. |
| Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. |
| Ooo, ooo-ooo. |
| They took it away, they’re not gonna' put it back. |
| They think they’ve got me in a trap, |
| But there’s one thing I’m prepared to do To make this cesspool as good as new. |
| I’ll get my guns and both of my friends. |
| We’ll make some righteous amends… maybe we’ll start a trend. |
| Take it, this cesspool. |
| Make it good as new. |
| Take it, this cesspool. |
| Make it good as new. |
| 'Tis the circle of woe. |
| Summertime at home. |
