Boots and gloves, orange safety vest
Walkin’ down the ditch ‘n pickin’ up trash
Payin’ my debt to society
My back is killin’ me
Community service, community service
I hope my friends don’t see my community service
Draggin’ my Glad bag down the road
Getting’ heavier ev’ry step I go
Amazon box, aluminum can
Bottle of warm urine
Community service, community service
I hope my boss don’t see my community service
Subaru Karen, Chevy Mike
Honk and laugh as they drive by
Don’t think that I don’t see you
I never thought I’d do
Community service, community service
I hope my wife don’t see my community service
Checkin’ my watch ‘bout ev’ry half hour
Punctuated by thunder showers
Still got fifty more hours to go
Time never moved so slow than
Community service, community service
I hope nobody sees my community service
I never saw myself in community service
