hey hon where's our son
has he been heard from?
you say he's out with someone
is it someone with a giant flaming gun
tattooed on his forearm?
our son's new friend is a moron, a violent crazy moron
i do not like this new kid my son is hanging out with
i cannot seem to get this story out of my head
some kid snuck into the zoo to set a tiger on fire
he now is pretty dead
it's easy to forget that at that age you just have so much stupid shit inside your head
you must be
messing with me
that has got to be a joke
holy cow that's
completely crazy
that has got to be a typo
what a ripoff
what a stupid ripoff
that's a ripoff
and i'm not gonna buy it
that's outrageous
i'm pissed off
all they want to
do is gouge you
twist the knife and leave you bleeding
they must think you're pretty stupid
you'd have to be a fool to do it
can you let it go
can you forget about it
it's impossible
to live without it
they rip you off
they rip you off
they suck your blood
drink your blood
bleed you dry
take your money
ripoff
yeah, i know i shouldn't have said it, but i had to say something
yeah, i know i didn't say it right
baby she's my little dumpling
she's too young to obsess about the way her body looks
my daughter is dressed like an alien prostitute
ohh my honeybee
ohh my little funnybee
do you want disgusting men to fantasize
about my honeybee
my little funnybee
do you want perverted creeps undressing you with their eyes
can't she dress like a normal human? does she have to dress that way?
does she have to buy twenty pounds of makeup at the mall every saturday?
i can't stand that, that gucci handbag she's always carrying
my daughter is dressed like a slutty bulgarian
i had to say something
this stupid house
is falling apart
i don't think i can fix it
i don't know where to start
the foundation is garbage
we've got a problem with rot
the mice keep eating the wiring
and the plumbing's shot
i'm going to lose my mind
if i have
to reattach
the gutters
one more time
if i gotta do the gutters one more time
it'll happen at night
while we're in our beds
the roof will come caving in
and smash in our heads
and if we're not dead from it
we'll have to go live with my cousin
it's six of one or a half dozen
i just know that the end is coming
last night i'm in the middle of something
when who do i hear but my littlest one
oh oh
the little one's trying but can't explain
the family's fine and she's not in pain
oh oh
when the night falls
and you feel small
darling, don't cry
your daddy's not gonna die
for a long long time
every night it seems to make her think about
the breath i'm taking running out
oh oh
it's big but it's a world that you and i
will not be separated by
oh oh
when the night falls
and you feel small
yeah, the night calls
and your heart falls
no one can know about my baby
cuz they might come and try to take her away
i can't let anybody know
we gotta move to a village where no one will go
i gotta keep it a pretty little secret
i gotta keep you where no one can see you
i wanna dress my boo in a burqa
paranoid love
if anybody asks i'll say she's a sherpa
because of love
no one can know about my girl
i gotta keep her away from the rest of the world
no one can know about my wife
i gotta lock her in a closet for the rest of her life
i wanna dress my boo in a burqa
ultimate love
it'll hide everything and it's gonna be purple
ridiculous love
i got so much love
