Daddy's in the kitchen fryin' sauerkraut |
|
Momma's in the bedroom nearly all cried out |
|
Daddy thinks that whiskey makes him big and smart |
|
Momma thinks that daddy's got a concrete heart |
|
I wish I had a brother or a sister whom to |
|
I could turn |
|
Bustin' out the windows with a baseball bat |
|
Daddy's gone crazy as a bunkhouse rat |
|
Momma's on the sofa with a big black eye |
|
I cross my heart and tell myself |
|
I hope they die |
|
I wish I had a nickel now for every time a cuss word flew |
|
Mad house all topsy turvy |
|
A ship of fools with scurvy |
|
I don't like a thing about the way we live |
|
Momma's on the pavement with a broken arm |
|
Tellin' everybody that he meant no harm |
|
Talk about denial with a great big |
|
DYou can try to fool the neighbors but you can't fool me |
|
I wish some kind of millionaire would come adopt me on the spot |
|
Mad house all topsy turvy |
|
A ship of fools with scurvy |
|
I don't like a thing about the way we live |
|
Police knock on our door |
|
They've seen it all before |
|
Why don't you use restraint |
|
We've had a few complaints |
|
Now all the other women up and down the block |
|
Are tuning out the static with a front door lock |
|
They greet us in the morning with a wave and grin |
|
But you know they're only waiting til lthe roof caves in |
|
I don't even know if we can make it through another day |
|
Mad house all topsy turvy |
|
A ship of fools with scurvy |
|
I don't like a thing about the way we live |
|
I don't like a thing about the way we live |
|
I don't like a thing about the way we live |
|
I don't like nothing |
|
I don't like a thing about the way we live |
|
I don't like nothing |
|
I don't like a thing about the way we live |
|
I don't like nothing |
