I Know Damn Well

I'm savin' your life when I straighten out this chair

I'm savin' my life when I make sure all is square

I'm savin' your life when I stand around and stare

At the justice I enforce over any affair

I'm savin' the world, Please understand

I'm savin' the world just by the way I stand

I say I'm not gonna do it

But I know damn well I'll do it

I say I'm not gonna think it

But I know damn well I'll drink it

I know damn well

I know damn well

I will compel myself to do it

We'll all die if I don't lock that nailed up door

At least a dozen times or maybe even more

We'll fall apart if I don't sweep that shiny floor

The sky will fall if I trap these thoughts that I store

I'm savin' the world, Please understand

I'm savin' the world just by the way I stand

I say I'm not gonna do it

But I know damn well I'll do it

I say I'm not gonna think it

But I know damn well I'll drink it

I know damn well

I know damn well

I will compel myself to do it

Who's gonna be the first to thank me

I've spent my whole life saving us all

Who's gonna be the first to thank me

Please no handshakes for takin' the fall

If I don't make sure all those magazines are straight

There may be real danger lurking at the gate

If I don't check the calendar and mark off every date

It may tip the balance that will seal an awful fate

I'm savin' the world, Please understand

I'm savin' the world just by the way I stand

I say I'm not gonna do it

But I know damn well I'll do it

I say I'm not gonna think it

But I know damn well I'll drink it

I know damn well

I know damn well

I will compel myself to do it
