Written and sung by O’Neil, the song doesn’t poke fun at sobriety but offers a droll takedown of how some use it as a means or marketing vehicle to further celebrity.
I guess it kinda started like some Martian disease
I'm comfortable but certain
That you've become a sleaze
Accomplished all my dreams
Man, look what I done
They're lookin' back at me
Sayin' time to have some fun
Look how clean I am
Look how clean I am
Look how clean I am
Look how clean I am
I'm tired and I'm hungry and I cannot think straight
I'm streaming all my television
Waitin' for the sweat to break
Changing all my covers
To the best that I can be
I'm staring down the barrel
Of a well adjusted legacy
Look how clean I am
Look how clean I am, man
Yes you can have can a cigarette
I cannot spend a smoke
You're swimming in sobriety
I guess I missed the boat
So feeling unproductive
With nothing on TV
I'm looking up a restaurant
To wallow in publicity
Look how clean I am
Well, look how strong I am
Look how dumb I am
Look how clean I am
