But I'm doing my best to keep it clean I've justified the worst of things But I'm doing my best to keep it clean I'm not the man that you once knew But I can do a fine imitation if you want me to I'm getting by by getting mean I'm doing my best to keep it clean I lose myself in fields of white And find my way against the night My camoflauge is dazzling I'm doing my best to keep it clean I'm cutting up the magazines But I'm doing my best to keep it clean Slashing tires on the limousines But I'm doing my best to keep it clean I really hate to split the scene But I'm doing my best to keep it clean I'm working on the soft machine I'm doing my best to keep it clean
