It's trash day in Beverly Hills 
All the sad little mama's with their happy little pills 
They flirt with the lawn boys as they clean out the 
pools 
While the Mexican nannies take the children to school 
So much to be and nothing to do 
How did it ever end up that way? 
Trash day in Nashville, Tennessee 
No one can smell this religion but me 
I see it in hairstyles of young Christian men 
That drink, smoke, and fuck like the world's gonna end 
Someday will come and we'll all just pretend 
That it never really happened that way 
Happen that way, happen that way 
Happen that way 
I can tell a lot by the way that you walk 
And I can hear the confessions in the way you talk 
And it's all the little actions that give yourself away 
So I still don't talk, don't breathe, it'll all be over 
soon 
Trash day in Atlanta, GA 
I can hear the sanitary truck from two miles away 
I've said everything that this town has to say 
Won't you bring me your waste and let me throw them 
away? 
Maybe I was wrong to call your heart a spade 
But I wish it didn't happen that way 
Happen that way, happen that way 
Oh, happen that way 
Oh, happen that way
