I've got ideas on the back burner
Trying too hard to win
Clean house
And let the fresh air in

I've got grudges somewhere down there
A pile of chips in the vault
Clean house
And lets some light through those curtains

Everything must go
Ain't gonna leave wheels spinning
This ship's run its course
Ain't gonna leave it to chance
Somehow I'm making
My way back to square one
Clean house

I've made plans to make it big
But how long can that last?
Clean house
Drive away the nesting bats

I've prepared for the worst
But now I'm both on red and black
Clean house
They don't need it anyway

I don't need to be held back
I don't need another anchor
I'm not under arrest
I've cleaned it all up
And now I'm free

Everything must go
Ain't gonna leave wheels spinning
This ship's run its course
Ain't gonna leave it to chance
Somehow I'm making
My way back to square one
Clean house
