Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had to keep up my appearance At work, I had no disagreements Punctual, polite, and efficient [Chorus] But in my house, I shed my skin In my house, I do what I want In my house, I shed my skin In my house, I do what I want [Verse 2] You have to respect my achievements They were hard to get, and slow to find I'm neat and scrubbed, and I know what's mine [Chorus] But in my house, it's my role In my house, I keep control In my house, it's my role In my house, I keep control [Bridge] I have a family like a microcosm I'm the head of state Oh, mother, she's the parliament The kids are populace I try to be benevolent But rule with an iron hand My strict instructions contradict Obey but do not understand [Verse 3] I live within the rigid lines I never work to flexitime A democracy is anodyne [Chorus] But in my house, it's my role In my house, I keep control In my house, I shed my skin In my house, I do what I want In my house, it's my role In my house, I keep control In my house, I shed my skin In my house, I do what the fuck I want
