  • Trash Day in Beverly Hills
    All the sad little mama's with their happy little pills
    They flirt with the lawn boys as they clean out the pools
    While the Mexican nannies take the children to school

    So much to be and nothing to do
    How did it ever end up that way?

    Trash day in Nashville, Tennessee
    No one can smell this religion but me
    I see it in hairstyles of young Christian men,
    That drink, smoke, and fuck like the world's gonna end

    Someday will come and we'll all just pretend
    That it never really happened that way
    Happen that way
    Happen that way
    Happen that way

    I can tell a lot by the way that you walk
    And I can hear the confessions in the way you talk
    And it's all the actions that give yourself away

    So I still don't talk, don't breathe
    It'll all be over soon

    Trash day in Atlanta, GA
    I can hear the sanitary truck from 2 miles away
    I've said everything that this town has to say
    Won't you bring me your waste and let me throw them away

    Maybe I was wrong to call your heart a spade
    But I wish it didn't happen that way
    Happen that way
    Happen that way
    Happen that way Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
