Dirty Pool

the water is black the coast was clear
 now they're sweating dollars dripping fear
 what a way to end the fiscal year
 mopping up the dirty pool
 mopping up the dirty pool
 they've given us a new career
 it's the make work project of theyear
 oh dear god bless the volunteer
 mopping up the dirty pool
 mopping up the dirty pool
 your way can't stay
 your way cant stay won't stay can't stay
 mopping up the dirty pool
 this ship of steel is a leaky tin
 spilt milk tears run down your chin
 this crying shame's a fuckin' sin
 mopping up the dirty pool
 a rusty tanker's belly a fault somewhere it seems
 bled gallons to the ocean and poisoned the marine
 the shoreline's tarred and feathered
 and the seagulls look like crows
 the unofficial explanation
 "shit happens don't you know"
 your way can't stay
 your way cant stay won't stay
 can't stay won't stay
 mopping up the dirty pool
 your way is the wrong way
 your way can't stay won't stay can't stay
 mopping up the dirty
 mopping up the dirty
 mopping up the dirty pool
