Housework Lyrics - The Reality Of My Surroundings - Fishbone

Hey hey hey hey hey 

Do the housework 

Oh I feel like, like I go to work everyday 

But where I work, where I work I don't get paid 

Work in school and learnin' the, learnin' the supposed rule 

But in the street I make my, my own rules 

Mama, she just wanted me to do my homework, workin' slow 

But when I get home mama left a note, do the housework 

So when I'm done, when I'm done with my chores 

I go outside and I learn some, learn some more 

Hey hey hey hey 

Wash them cloths, sweep that roof 

Cut that lawn, washing the dishes 

Hey hey hey hey 

So what are you tryin' to say 

So what are you tryin' to say 

What are you tryin' to say 

So what are you tryin' to say 

What are you tryin' to say 

So what are you tryin' to say 

Out in the street I've got friends just like me 

Oh pops, pops is gone and mom's workin' 5-6 days a week, yeah 

Me and my partners tryin' things just to see what they means 

A drink here and a smoke there, what was dirty now is clean, yeah 

Mama, mama tryin' but she got to survive 

So now I got to get, get a 9 to 5 

Do the housework 

Do the housework 

Do the housework 

...
