Verse

All the trees have borne this bitter fruit, that burns my fingers

Still we eat it every day though it takes our smiles away

Pre-Chorus

You can find this fruit in every home and every single car

But I won’t peel or eat the orange, that holds my misery

Chorus

Peel the orange, that holds my misery, holds my misery

Peel the orange, yeah

Peel the orange, that holds my misery

Verse

I’ve got a thousand oranges, put each one into crates

I’ve got one crate that hates, one crate that waits for a better day

Peelin’ oranges for today, for today

Pre-Chorus

You can find this fruit in every home and every single car

But I won’t peel or eat the orange, that holds my misery

Chorus

Peel the orange, that holds my misery, holds my misery

Peel the orange, yeah

Peel the orange, that holds my misery, holds my misery

Bridge

I’ve got one orange that I ate yesterday

And I got some oranges that I save for tomorrow

But my favorite are the oranges that I’ve got for today

For today

Chorus

Peel the orange, that holds my misery, holds my misery

Peel the orange, yeah

Peel the orange, that holds my misery, holds my misery

Peel the orange, yeah

Peel the orange, that holds my misery, holds my misery

repeat
