Back porch preacher preaching at me
Pendeta di teras belakang berkhotbah padaku
Acting like he wrote the golden rules
Bertindak seolah dia yang menulis aturan emas
Shaking his fist and speeching at me
Menggoyangkan tinjunya dan berpidato padaku
Shouting from his soap box like a fool
Berteriak dari kotak sabun seperti orang bodoh

Come Sunday morning he's lying in bed
Saat pagi Minggu, dia terbaring di tempat tidur
With his eye all red, with the wine in his head
Dengan mata merah, mabuk anggur
Wishing he was dead when he oughta be
Ingin mati padahal seharusnya dia
Heading for Sunday school
Menuju sekolah Minggu

Clean up your own backyard
Bersihkan halaman belakangmu sendiri
Oh don't you hand me none of your lines
Oh, jangan kasih aku omonganmu
Clean up your own backyard
Bersihkan halaman belakangmu sendiri
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
Urus urusanmu, aku urus urusanku

Drugstore cowboy criticizing
Koboi apotek yang mengkritik
Acting like he's better than you and me
Bertindak seolah dia lebih baik dari kita
Standing on the sidewalk supervising
Berdiri di trotoar mengawasi
Telling everybody how they ought to be
Memberitahu semua orang bagaimana seharusnya mereka

Come closing time 'most every night
Saat tutup hampir setiap malam
He locks up tight and out go the lights
Dia mengunci rapat dan lampu mati
And he ducks out of sight and he cheats on his wife
Dan dia menghilang dari pandangan dan selingkuh dari istrinya
With his employee
Dengan karyawannya

Clean up your own backyard
Bersihkan halaman belakangmu sendiri
Oh don't you hand me none of your lines
Oh, jangan kasih aku omonganmu
Clean up your own backyard
Bersihkan halaman belakangmu sendiri
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
Urus urusanmu, aku urus urusanku

Armchair quarterback's always moanin'
Pelatih dari kursi selalu mengeluh
Second guessing people all day long
Selalu meragukan orang sepanjang hari
Pushing, fooling and hanging on in
Mendorong, menipu, dan terus terjebak
Always messing where they don't belong
Selalu mencampuri urusan yang bukan milik mereka

When you get right down to the nitty-gritty
Saat kamu sampai pada inti masalah
Isn't it a pity that in this big city
Bukankah sayang di kota besar ini
Not a one a'little bitty man'll admit
Tak ada satu pun pria kecil yang mau mengakui
He could have been a little bit wrong
Bahwa dia mungkin sedikit salah

Clean up your own backyard
Bersihkan halaman belakangmu sendiri
Oh don't you hand me, don't you hand me none of your lines
Oh, jangan kasih aku, jangan kasih aku omonganmu
Clean up your own backyard
Bersihkan halaman belakangmu sendiri
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
Urus urusanmu, aku urus urusanku

Clean up your own backyard
Bersihkan halaman belakangmu sendiri
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
Urus urusanmu, aku urus urusanku
