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
