[Verse 1]
The water is [Am]black the coast was clear
Now they're sweating dollars,
dripping fear
What a way to end the fiscal year
[G]Mopping up the dirty [Am]pool,
[G]mopping up the dirty [Am]pool
They've given us a new career
It's the make- work project of the year
Oh, dear god bless the volunteer
[G]Mopping up the dirty [Am]pool,
[G]mopping up the dirty [Am]pool[F][Am]
Your [D]way [G]can[Am]'t sta[G]y[D][Am]
Your [D]way [G]can[Am]'t stay,
won't [D]stay, can't stay
Mopping up the [Am]dirty pool
This ship of steel is a leaky tin
Spilt milk tears run down your chin
This crying shame's a fuckin' sin
[G]Mopping up the dirty [Am]pool,
[G]mopping up the dirty [Am]pool[F]
[Am]Your [G]way [D]can[G] 't[E] st[Am]ay[G][D]
[Am]Your [D]way [G]can[Am] 't stay,
[G]won't [D]stay, can't stay
Mopping up the dirty [Am]pool[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]A rusty tanker's belly,
a fault somewhere it seems
Bled gallons to the ocean and
poisoned the marine
And the shoreline's tarred and feathered,
the seagulls look like crows
The unofficial explanation
"Shit happens, don't you know?"
Your [G]way [D]can't [Am]stay[G][D]
[G]You[Am]r way[G][D][G]
[Am]Can't stay, [G]won't [D]stay,
can't stay, won't stay
[Am]Your [G]way [D]is[G]
the [Am]wrong [G]way[D]
[Am]Your [G]way [D]can[G]'t [Am]stay,
won't [D]stay, can't stay
[D]Mopping up the dirty, mopping up the dirty,
mopping up the dirty [Am]pool
