Nobody Told Me
Ever check your mailbox but it was alwals empty
Then you find your mail on the top of the TV
Now you have to pay a load of late fees
And it's all because
Nobody told me
Ever wanted to make a sandwich but it's no more bread
So you end up just using crackers instead
Everybody is just walking around like things are dandy
But I just can't understand why
Nobody told me
Ever wanted an omelet but there is no more eggs
Ever wanted that tuna salad but there is no mayonnaise
Ever had the runs with only a strand of tissue left
As I say to myself who goes through this mess
Ever poured a bowl of cereal but the milk jug was empty
I just can't help but to wonder why
Nobody told me
Ever made that plate of french fries and the ketchup was gone
Ever made that cup of tea no sugar it's just wrong
Ever got ready to fry chicken theres no grease no flour
But they can talk to you about what's on TV for an hour
Someone please tell me how this could be
Because I really truly can't believe that
Nobody told me
