Lyrics
Verse 1
Breakfast coffee churned my guts to fire
Didn’t even finish, stomach’s a live wire
Grumbled so loud it startled the cat
Before noon I’m doubled over, flat
Pre-Chorus
Why’d I trust last night’s strange stew?
Now my ass pays for what I chew
Chorus
Flush it down and let it go
No one needs to ever know
Swirling round that porcelain bowl
Got this stinkin' mess to show
Verse 2
I ate that stew you warned me not to
Didn't think twice ’til I felt the rumbles
Clutchin' my gut like a goddamn fool
Oh hell, I ran and barely stumbled
Pre-Chorus
The bathroom's far but it’s gotta be quick
If I don't make it, I'm screwed real thick
Chorus
Flush it down and let it go
No one needs to ever know
Swirling round that porcelain bowl
Got this stinkin' mess to show
Bridge
Damn it, the handle’s stuck now, shit won’t go
Cursing fate with every blow
Neighbors pounding, hear me moan
A toilet war zone, all my own
Verse 3
My stomach’s done, it hates my guts
Why’d I trust that greasy lunch?
Sweat on my brow, pants around my knees
This damned disaster’s got no mercy
Pre-Chorus
Some say fate comes soft and sly
But mine just rips me deep inside
Chorus
Flush it down and let it go
No one needs to ever know
Swirling round that porcelain bowl
Got this stinkin' mess to show
Verse 4
Explosions blastin', goddamn, what a sound
Ass glued to this godforsaken ground
Prayin' for mercy, all dignity gone
A shitty symphony drags on and on
Pre-Chorus
Three rolls left and hope runs thin
Might just have to suffer again
Chorus
Flush it down and let it go
No one needs to ever know
Swirling round that porcelain bowl
Got this stinkin' mess to show
Verse 5
Clogged the pipes with last night’s feast
A goddamn flood unleashed beneath
Swearing louder than a drunken priest
I’m knee-deep in regret and grief
Pre-Chorus
Tried every trick, nothing flows
Staring down the bowl, anything goes
Chorus
Flush it down and let it go
No one needs to ever know
Swirling round that porcelain bowl
Got this stinkin' mess to show
Outro
So if you feel that sudden quake
Trust your gut for your own sake
Hold your head and pray you make
Another day without heartache
Verse 6
Plumber’s here, he’s pissed as hell
Swears at the mess, it’s a living cell
He gags and curses, calls it a crime
I just laugh, it’s a shitty time
Pre-Chorus
Every flush is a loaded dice
Guess tonight, I’ll pay the price
Chorus
Flush it down and let it go
No one needs to ever know
Swirling round that porcelain bowl
Got this stinkin’ mess to show
Tag
So light a match, wave goodbye
This bathroom saga never dies
