Lyrics
Maid needed for 5-bedroom house
Please call between 3 and 5
Your hours are from 7 to 4pm
The rubbish is picked up at 6 o'clock
So put it out before you go
And bolt the can so the cats can not get in
Kel said, I could put it out
at the beginning of the da y,
so how about I work from 6 to 3, sir?
And that's when she heard him say:
Girl, I'm the one who owns this house
And you're just the one who works here
You're just the one who keeps it clean
Keeps my life in working order so I can dream
You are dismiss e d, he said,
while pointing to the door
And as Kel walked out
she wondered if she could take much more
New store opened, 8th Avenue
Help wanted, apply inside
Here's your broom, your mop, come on let's go
There's a spotless counter, spotless windows
an d e ven spotless managers
And yet no shoppers walked the spotless floor
Kel knew there somehow had to be a better way
How about we decorate these windows, ma'am?
And that's when Kel heard her say
Girl, I'm the one who owns this shop
And you're just th e one who works here
You're just the one who keeps it clean
Keeps my life in working order so I can dream
You are dismissed, she said,
while pointing to the door
And as Kel walked out,
she wondered if she could take much more
High office tower, afternoo n
I nte rview at 3:15
A crowd of shouting people waving signs
Stop the Greed, and Stop Injustice
and even Stop Wage Slavery
but all Kel wanted to do was go inside
A man strapped in Armani
thought Kel was in the crowd
He pushed her to the side to make hi s wa y th ru
and that's when she heard him shout
Girl, we're the ones who own this world
and you're just the ones who work here
You're just the ones who keep it clean
Keep our life in working order so we can dream
That's when Kel knew
there would always b e a nothe r door
And when she picked herself
up off the pavement
She knew that she just couldn't take no more
Who are the ones who own this world?
Who are the ones who own Kel's world?eˇ
