So what if I burn my hands
when I unloaded
hot dishes from the
dishwashing machine
It's just my job sir
I do what I'm paid for
You won't catch me walking
home from work crying
---
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
---
So what if this apron has
many stains of red?
and red is the same color
that runs in my veins
I'm just a number
swimming in water
I'm just another
dirty dish in the machine
---
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
---
Every dish I wash
I wash for someone else
I ain't an old woman
on the beach collecting shells
---
---
So what if I could have made
millions in the stock market?
I never much understood
numbers anyway
I wash the dishes
someone must do that
people don't want
to eat their food off dirty plates
---
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
---
And so what if people are
walking right by me and
seeing right through me?
I do the same to them
And who cares that the planet
is turning on cruelty?
a cold metal axis that
cuts off my head
---
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh
---
Maybe some day all the people
in the world so big and wide
will turn just like a record
over to their other side
