[00:12.250]If you ain't got two kids by 21,
[00:15.380]You're probably gonna die alone
[00:18.250]At least that's what tradition told you.
[00:21.380]
[00:23.190]And it don't matter if you don't believe,
[00:26.380]Come Sunday morning you best be there
[00:29.380]In the front row, like you're s'posed to.
[00:32.440]
[00:35.130]Same hurt in every heart.
[00:40.630]Same trailer, different park.
[00:43.000]
[00:45.060]Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
[00:48.190]Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
[00:50.690]And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
[00:54.190]
[00:56.380]Mary Mary quite contrary,
[00:58.750]We get bored so we get married
[01:01.690]And just like dust we settle in this town.
[01:06.880]On this broken merry go round and round and round we go
[01:12.870]
[01:12.880]Where it stops nobody knows...
[01:17.000]And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round...
[01:22.820]
[01:27.200]We think the first time's good enough,
[01:30.070]So we hold on to high school love,
[01:32.760]Say we won't end up like our parents.
[01:35.570]
[01:37.640]Tiny little boxes in a row,
[01:40.940]Ain't want you want it's what you know,
[01:43.640]Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.
[01:46.680]
[01:49.640]Same checks we're always cashin',
[01:53.140]To buy a little more distraction.
[01:57.880]
[02:00.540]Cause Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
[02:03.100]Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
[02:05.970]Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
[02:09.660]
[02:11.720]Mary Mary quite contrary,
[02:14.220]We get bored so we get married
[02:17.100]And just like dust we settle in this town.
[02:21.970]On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go,

[02:28.220]Where we stop nobody knows...
[02:32.350]And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round...
[02:39.600]
[02:47.470]Mary Mary quite contrary,
[02:50.100]We're so bored until we're buried.
[02:52.970]And just like dust we settle in this town.
[02:58.160]On this broken merry go 'round...
[03:05.790]Merry go 'round...
[03:08.720]
[03:13.370]Jack and Jill went up the hill,
[03:15.870]Jack burned out on booze and pills,
[03:18.620]And Mary had a little lamb,
[03:21.430]Mary just don't give a damn no more.
