I can't get clean I can't get clean And I can't clear my mind of the things that I've seen I wash all day and scrub all night But the filth all over me will never leave my sight Scalding water so pressurized But the memories still flash before my eyes Turpentine, Alcohol, and Lye And those scars and sores will never ever die I can't get clean I can't get clean And I can't clear my mind of the things that I've seen I wash all day and scrub all night But the filth all over me will never leave my sight And I don't want to remember All the things they they did And I can't take living under this tainted skin I can't get clean I can't get clean And I can't clear my mind of the things that I've seen I wash all day and scrub all night But the filth all over me will never leave my sight
