Here we have our dust-free dining set |
|
We guarantee it won't collect a speck |
|
Freeing up the children to instead |
|
Grow into your molding |
|
Heed more of your scolding |
|
Go early to their new self-making beds |
|
Seems like you'd be tired of losing face |
|
Like you'd want to put the children in their place |
|
The more you have to tell them to do their chores |
|
The more you run the risk of being ignored |
|
If you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you |
|
You tell them that they're good kids but you know it isn't true |
|
Your father drank a little; you're on liver number two |
|
Progress has a way of feigning ease |
|
Convenient new inventions bait the tease |
|
For though it is impossible to cure: |
|
A husband bent on cheating |
|
The oxygen depleting |
|
A child who's always bragging |
|
A wife's persistent nagging |
|
We're equipped to live as though it were |
|
If you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you |
|
You tell them that they're good kids but you know it isn't true |
|
Your father drank a little; you're on liver number two |
