Happy Families
Happy families that I meet
Mom and Dad are fighting, heading down Divorce Street
Happy families in their cars
Single mothers at the bars
Happy families eating dinner
Neglected children getting thinner
Happy families in the kitchen
Mommy and daddy, always bitchin'
Family portraits, let's all pose!
Divorce contracts, getting closed
Mom and Dad sipping wine
Kid lies to therapist, says "I'm fine"
Happy families going for a walk
Judge in the court says "it's your turn to talk"
Everyone's packing for the family vacation
Lawyers and money, so many complications
"Honey you're home! I made you a snack!"
"Goddamnit, I hate you!" I yell at my mom's back
Happy families snug in their beds
Teenagers crying silently, wanting to be dead
Happy families in church, praising The Lord
Kids waiting in jails, oh so bored
Pregnant couple, picking out a name
"Who's the Child Going to Live With?" not a fun game
Happy families have their fun
The other families rarely see the sun.
