lyrics

“Family and Problems”

Daddy’s got a new friend
He says that she’s a secret
So Daddy doesn’t call no more
Mama’s in the front yard
She says she’s got it real hard
And Daddy doesn’t wanna come home

Grandpa’s got a new car
He says he’ll drive it real far
So get in or get out of his way
Grandma says it’s funny
With Grandpa’s kind of money
He ain’t in the position to say

CHORUS:
Family and Problems
Well everybody’s got em
Lately they are one in the same
Family and Problems
You get ‘em when you got ‘em
It must be the American way

Brother’s in the corner
Wishing he was warmer
Wishing that the bill had been paid
Sis is always dreaming
It’s better than believing
That someday she’ll get out of this place

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
It’s all part of the human condition
It’s all part of the war
At the heart of all this human drama
We forget what we fight for

Daddy’s got a new friend
He says that she’s a secret
So Daddy doesn’t call no more…

CHORUS
