In the end, we really are all just the same.
Trash and Treasure went to school, early on a Monday
Treasure thought it was such fun, Trash thought it was Sunday

Trash and Treasure went to the park, to sit in the shade of the trees
Treasure sat making daisy chains, while Trash fought off the bees

Trash and Treasure went to town, dressed in their finest clothes
Treasure wore lace and bows and frills, Trash wore none of those

Trash and Treasure went to a dance, when they were in their teens,
Treasure loved the boys in suits, Trash loved the boys in jeans

Trash and Treasure went to work, at a fancy office in town
Treasure worked her way to the top, Trash worked her way down

Trash and Treasure went to a bar, to have a little drink
Treasure sipped on a cocktail, Trash threw up in the sink

Trash and Treasure got married, on the very same day
Treasure left for sunny Spain, Trash went the other way

Trash and Treasure had babies, each had only two,
Treasure dressed hers in pink. Trash dressed hers in blue

Trash and Treasure turned eighty, on the very same day
Treasure's hair turned silver, Trashes' hair turned grey

Trash and Treasure closed their eyes, the day was warm and fine
Treasure went out in a cedar box, Trash went out in pine

Trash and Treasure went to heaven, they had to sit and wait
For him to come and open, an impressive looking gate
When he came, he said to them, My Dear's please come this way
But before you do there's something, that I really have to say
Please don't think me impolite, should I forget your name
And if I get things all mixed up, please don't hold me to blame
This job is so confusing, there are billions of you to see
And all you bloody angels, look just the same to me.
