It's not that easy being clean Having to spend each day just watching falling leaves When I think it could be nicer Being high or drunk or stoned Or something colorful like that It's not that easy being clean It seems you blend in With so many ordinary things And people pass you over 'Cause you're not standing out Like flashy sparkles in water Or stars in the sky But clean's what I'm supposed to be And clean can be cool and friendly like And clean can be big like the ocean Or important like a mountain Or tall as a tree If clean is all there is to be It could make you wonder But why, wonder why, wonder, why wonder I will be clean and it will be fine It's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be
