Mr. Clean tell me is that really you, I wonder what you've done

to become so big and dumb

but I know you can change your lifestyle once again

It´s cool to be clean, if you know what I mean, yeah
Acknowledging the positive aspect of being clean, emphasizing the importance of understanding.
when I gave you my favourite Chiquita shirt I gave it to a guy
Recalling a gesture of giving a Chiquita shirt to Mr. Clean, now questioning the recipient's nature.
who is cruel to everyone he meets and who shows the world he's incomplete
Describing the recipient as cruel and incomplete, highlighting negative traits.
(Chorus)
Introduction of the chorus, repeating the inquiry about the changes in Mr. Clean.
Mr.Clean tell me is that really you

I wonder what you've done to become so big and dumb
Repeating the description of Mr. Clean's transformation into someone "big and dumb."
last time we met you beat me up that was no surprise
Recalling a past encounter where Mr. Clean was physically aggressive, expressing nostalgia for a kinder past.
though I miss the days when you where nice, yeah
Expressing a longing for the days when Mr. Clean was nice despite the previous violent encounter.
It's hard to believe that you don´t owe me shit

I'm well aware of what is yours and where to draw the lines
Asserting knowledge of what belongs to each party and the ability to establish clear boundaries.
at least I have the right to write anything I think is right

Reflecting on past friendship with Mr. Clean, reminiscing about shared experiences.
together as one we followed all the trends
Recalling a time of unity and conformity with trends when the friendship was strong.
but now a friend is less worth than a neggy trend.
Expressing a current disillusionment where a friend's value is diminished compared to fleeting trends.
