I went to my kitchen, and what did I see
All my ***** dishes, looking back at me
I got dishes - I got them ***** dishes
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
I got them - ***** dishes blues

My babe come to see me on a Friday night
She looked in my kitchen and said, you know that ain’t right
You got dishes - you got them ***** dishes
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
I got them - ***** dishes blues

When I get home, you know what I’ll do
I’ll get some water, make some soap suds too
And wash my dishes,  I’ll wash my ***** dishes
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
I got them - ***** dishes blues
Oh them ***** dishes!

dirty dishes

When you're given a meal, the dishes it's placed on are important. It holds good food and is needed and appreciated. When the meal is gone, however, the dishes become simply ***** dishes. A nuisance, really, because now you have to wash them, unless you wait on or make someone else wash them.

People are sort of like that. They hold a meal, something you want. They are important for what they carry. Then you eat the food, and they become ***** dishes. You now have to wash them, get them ready to hold more food... or leave them for someone to clean up after you. Dishes that are never cleaned will never hold food again.

We are all dishes, and we all offer something valuable and when we are emptied we have to be polished again. It's the give and take of humanity.
this either makes a lot of sense or is really dumb, i'm not sure.
