Lyrics
Community Service
v/1
6 foot deep was the place to start
When they asked me to bury your cold cold heart
But I knew that I should dig another foot
Since you were always up to no no good
I found a spot where no-body goes
All by myself with some angry crows
Rolled you up in an old wool rug
'N Tossed ya in; sayin'so long bud
Chorus
It's community service
Taking out the trash
You won't ever hurt nobody again
And let's all face the facts
The neighbors, they will sleep real good tonight
I know they'll raise a glass
To community service
Takin' out the trash
v/2
I didn't place any marker here
'cause to tell the truth, not a single soul cares
So rest assured you'll be on your own
All tucked into your dirt filled home
I doubt you ever tried to made amends
So this is where your rotten little story ends
For every evil deed you've done
I'll be forgiven just this one
Chorus:
Bridge
I picked a good night for digging here
There's a new moon in the sky
Aint nobody gonna shed a tear, so...
Bye, bye, bye
Instrumental into
Bridge to Full chorus
Yeah, I picked a good night for digging here
There's a new moon in the sky
Aint nobody gonna shed a tear, singin'...
Bye, bye, bye, bye.....
Chorus Out
It's community service
Taking out the trash
You won't ever hurt nobody again
Let's all face the facts
We're all gonna sleep real good tonight
So if anybody asks
It's community service
'N taking out the trash
Yeah, community service
Taking out the trash....
