Too much common sense will leave a bad taste in your mouth So wash it out, wash it out, wash it out Nothing ever follows all the lines that we lay down Still it helps to think we've figured something out So lay your plans by the sea And when the tide comes in just let them bleed Let 'em bleed And wash it out, wash it out, wash it out All the evidence collected in your own defense doesn't do you any good And pinning all the blame on someone never made much sense Cause we're all convicts from a point of view So lay your plans by the sea And when the thieves come in just let them take what they need And wash it out, wash it out Just wash it right out
