Tommy stutters comically |
|
When he says a lot of things |
|
Mommy does the shopping |
|
Daddy's digging through the laundry bins |
|
He likes to try on Mommy's things |
|
With his hair up in her bobby pins |
|
The neighbors very neighborly |
|
Occasionally taking peeks at his niece |
|
While she takes a pee |
|
I heard the plumbers found a finger when |
|
They fixed the basement leak |
|
So pick up the phone |
|
Fix up your lawn |
|
Turn the TV on |
|
There's nothing wrong |
|
Middle America, I love you |
|
Old Mister Wilkinson killed a man |
|
Drunk from the bar |
|
Hit him with the front of his car |
|
Drug him so far |
|
There was nothing but parts |
|
For hundreds of yards |
|
Those big damn power lines |
|
Will drive you out your mind |
|
Edna sits in the shower sometimes |
|
For hours and cries |
|
Whenever she forgets to tell Howard goodbye |
|
So pick up the phone |
|
Fix up your lawn |
|
Turn the TV on |
|
There's nothing wrong |
|
Middle America, I love you |
|
Smoking softly but |
|
Mommy's body shook |
|
Dropped the coffee cup |
|
I guess the coffee wasn't strong enough |
|
Becca |
|
was a quiet girl |
|
Behind the wheel |
|
With a mouth full of diet pills |
|
A couple beers |
|
And some stuff for your sinuses |
|
Dancing in the fire |
|
Smashing all of the appliances |
|
The psychiatrist said "The Zoloft had some side effects" |
|
So pick up the phone |
|
Fix up your lawn |
|
Turn the TV on |
|
There's nothing wrong |
|
Middle America, we love you |
|
Pick up your phone |
|
Fix up your lawn |
|
Turn the TV on |
|
There's nothing wrong |
|
Miss America, we love you |

(There are people who sit and wait their lives away on the promise of a dream that will not come. They are the sheep but here are also many, many more like us. We will not be pushed around.) |
