Lyrics to Sit Down to Piss
Sit Down to Piss Video:
This world's full of challenges
Some are big and some are small
War, greed, pollution
Might take some time to solve 'em all
But if a long march starts with just one step
There's one I'd like to mention
If you live with your nostrils open
Perhaps it's come to your attention

You may be fighting for freedom
All the night and day
But when you come back home
Someone's bound to say
"You wanna change the world, man
Believe me, I do, too
But in the meantime it is required
That we live in a fucking zoo"

'Cause the revolution starts at home
Let me tell you this
Stand up for your rights, boys
But sit down to piss

If you've ever lived with other people
You may know what I mean
Who's gonna wash the dishes
And get the bathtub clean
As we scrub the tear gas from our eyes
The issue may seem so little
But what might make or break the movement
Is exactly how you piddle

'Cause the revolution starts at home
Let me tell you this
Stand up for your rights, boys
But sit down to piss

If you just love to clean the toilet
I say that is really neat
But you could still save yourself some effort
By pulling up a seat
However if you claim your aim is true
And you don't have to sit
All I've got to say, son
Is you are full of shit

'Cause the revolution starts at home
Let me tell you this
Stand up for your rights, boys
But sit down to piss

Yes if you really like to clean the loo
That's all well and good
But if you're like most guys
You don't do it like you should
So just make this tiny move
Towards gender equity
Try it for a couple months
And I'm sure you'll agree

'Cause the revolution starts at home
Let me tell you this
Stand up for your rights, boys
But sit down to piss

Well I don't want to cramp your style
Or keep you from doing your thing
In your own apartment
You can surely be the king
But if you're indoors, sharing space
I hope by now you see
That the respectful thing to do
Is to sit down when you pee

'Cause the revolution starts at home
Let me tell you this
Stand up for your rights, boys
But sit down to piss
