I Am Your Landlord

I am your landlord
I thought I’d drop by to see what you’d done to the house
you know the coffeemaker goes on the other side of the sink
next to the toaster
what do you mean you don’t have a toaster?
what’s wrong with you?

I am your landlord
I have firm ideas about what is clean
and how it’s next to godliness
and this house isn’t going to heaven
with that bathroom
let’s just close the door

I thought there were just the two of you
I didn’t know about your 15 friends
who would come by to do their laundry
every weekend

I am your landlord
tension with the tenants
I’m your landlord
pay the rent with some repentance
I’m your landlord
confrontation over the occupation of the house

I am your landlord
I think some things are right and some are wrong
I don’t think the kitchen is where the guest bed belongs
what’s in the guest bedroom?
should we open that door?

I know the you said that your sister
she is living out on the land
I think and her dog are living in the driveway
in that white camper van

I am your landlord
tension with the tenants
I’m your landlord
pay the rent with some repentance
I’m your landlord
confrontation over the occupation of the house
i’m your landlord
do you ever draw your blinds?
I’m your landlord
Just one more time
I’m your landlord
confrontation over the occupation of the house
