Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Fridge door framed with tape and magnets

Big bold letters

Color code the day

Check boxes begging for a simple answer

But the pens keep walking away

Soccer cleats in the kitchen sink

Backpack graveyard by the door

I’m yelling

“Did you even look at the list?”

They say

“We did”… and nothing more

[Chorus]

It’s a chore list nightmare

Every line unchecked

I’m a broken record

Talking to myself

“Make your bed

Feed the dog

Clear your plate”

But the boxes stay bare

And I’m losing faith

Yeah

Chore list nightmare

Hanging on the wall

I write it all down

They don’t read it at all

[Verse 2]

Sticky notes stuck on the bathroom mirror

“Brush your teeth

Lights off at ten”

They draw mustaches on my instructions

Laugh and run right past them again

Floor’s a minefield of socks and LEGOs

Laundry mountain

Same old song

I’m praying for a single scribbled check mark

Just one kid proving me wrong

[Chorus]

It’s a chore list nightmare

Every line unchecked

I’m a broken record

Talking to myself

“Make your bed

Feed the dog

Clear your plate”

But the boxes stay bare

And I’m losing faith

Yeah

Chore list nightmare

Hanging on the wall

I write it all down

They don’t read it at all

[Bridge]

One day you’ll miss this mess (you will)

That’s what all the old folks say

But right now I’d take one quiet morning

And a list that goes my way (just once)

[Chorus]

It’s a chore list nightmare

Every line unchecked

I’m a broken record

Talking to myself

“Make your bed

Feed the dog

Clear your plate”

But the boxes stay bare

And I’m losing faith

Yeah

Chore list nightmare

Taped up crooked and small

Maybe someday they’ll sign their names

Till then

I’m checking them all (hey!)
