Down the Drain

🎵 Title: “Down the Drain” ⸻ [Intro – Chant Hook] Tighten that joint? …nah, it’s fine Little drip just takes its time 💧😏 ⸻ [Verse 1] Wrench in hand but I barely twist “Good enough”—yeah, I’ll take that risk Pipe don’t line up, force it through “It’ll seal itself”—you know it’ll do No Teflon tape, no second pass “Pressure’ll fix it”—famous last Water’s on and it starts to weep “Just a slow leak, we’ll let it seep” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Hear that hiss behind the wall? “Probably nothing”… till it falls ⸻ [Chorus] If plumbers worked like drivers do We’d be swimmin’ in the mess we blew Loose connections, pressure high Watch your whole damn ceiling cry No shutoff, just let it run “Minor leak”—yeah, till it’s done One small drip turns overnight Into a flood you’ll never fight ⸻ [Verse 2] Drain’s backed up but I walk away “Give it time, it’ll find a way” Sewer smell? Just light a match (Yeah… that trick might backfire fast) Hot and cold lines crossed up wrong “Surprise shower”—sing along Toilet rocks but I let it ride “Adds some character”—til it slides ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Customer calls, I dodge the blame “Must be somethin’… not my game” ⸻ [Chorus] If plumbers worked like drivers do We’d be drownin’ in what we put through No clean lines, no proper seal Just hope and luck on every deal From burst pipes to flooded floors Water comin’ through your doors One bad job you rushed that day… Washes everything away ⸻ [Bridge – Breakdown] “Did you test it?” — “Yeah, a bit…” (turned it on… then I quit 😬) “Is that tight?” — “Feels okay…” (hear that crack? …better pray) ⸻ [Breakdown Hook] 🎤 No plan, no care, just slap it in Till the whole damn system caves within ⸻ [Final Chorus] If plumbers worked that wild and free We’d all be sinkin’ gradually No quick fix when the pressure blows Just water risin’ past your toes So take that second, do it right Seal it clean and hold it tight ‘Cause one small leak you let it ride… Turns into a rising tide ⸻ [Outro] Yeah the good ones keep it dry and clean That’s why your pipes stay outta the scene
