Change The Bag

[Verse 1]
You said
"Treat your woman
Like a household thing"
Bragging in the kitchen
Like that line had a ring
You laughed at your own punchline
Beer foam on your lip
Thought you sounded clever
Just another cheap quip

[Chorus]
You treat your women like a vacuum cleaner
When it stops sucking
Change the bag
That’s what you said like a big-shot dreamer
But that’s a small boy in a grown man’s brag
Keep your joke
Keep your lonely swagger
Talk big talk
But your heart just staggers
You treat your women like a vacuum cleaner
When it stops sucking
Change the bag

[Verse 2]
You’ve got three exes
And one broken phone
A couch
A TV
And a bed slept alone
You keep swapping faces
Like you’re swapping parts
But nothing fills the dustbin
In that hollow heart

[Bridge]
One day you’ll buy flowers
Don’t know who they’re for
Practice a soft line
Standing at her door
But she’ll hear that old story
Hiding in your laugh
And walk down the hallway
While the whole bar cracks
