We have a lasagna that's been sitting in there since 6 o' clock
And for three hours since you've been doing homework
I know we just has it two days ago
But our fridge just broke and our freezer, too
And buying a new one is so much money
That your father is working from dawn to dusk for
At a workplace that is about to be boarded up
While your brother over here is being an utter retard
And our houses is falling apart
We have no working dishwasher
My shop isn't selling
Your grandmother's dying across the Atlantic
The other is flipping through jobs
And our sinks don't work
And our tub is leaking
The car's making weird sounds
And our garage is collapsing
The oven's malfunctioning
And our driveway's cracking
And 4 years from now I'll be paying to the colleges
That will steal two parts of my soul.
So please, dear daughter, let us go eat some lasagna.
