Rant for the Family Man
Christmastime don't feel the same
And little white lies aren't received that way
A smirk and a glance is surely seen through
No need to be drunk, but you got an excuse
'Cause things aren't as simple now as they used to be
Everyone's got troubles man, life ain't free
Work till you're broke so that ya won't be
Buy your kids a vacation where they bitch the whole week
Goin' out to eat doesn't have the same appeal
When you're the one payin' for everyone's meal
Shoutin' over crowds, kneelin' at a pedestal
Love's an obligation now, nothing conceptual
'Cause things aren't as simple now as they used to be
Everyone's got troubles man, life ain't free
Work till you're broke so that ya won't be
Mow your goddamn lawn and turn the other cheek
Flocking to church don't bring you peace anymore
What if your Savior slept with a whore
But the children need morals to raise 'em up straight
Tell 'em aim for Heaven, just in case'
'Cause things aren't as simple now as they used to be
Everyone's got troubles man, life ain't free
Work till you're broke so that ya won't be
Be a family man, heed the words of the Priest
Be a family man, 'least till they're eighteen
And little white lies aren't received that way
A smirk and a glance is surely seen through
No need to be drunk, but you got an excuse
'Cause things aren't as simple now as they used to be
Everyone's got troubles man, life ain't free
Work till you're broke so that ya won't be
Buy your kids a vacation where they bitch the whole week
Goin' out to eat doesn't have the same appeal
When you're the one payin' for everyone's meal
Shoutin' over crowds, kneelin' at a pedestal
Love's an obligation now, nothing conceptual
'Cause things aren't as simple now as they used to be
Everyone's got troubles man, life ain't free
Work till you're broke so that ya won't be
Mow your goddamn lawn and turn the other cheek
Flocking to church don't bring you peace anymore
What if your Savior slept with a whore
But the children need morals to raise 'em up straight
Tell 'em aim for Heaven, just in case'
'Cause things aren't as simple now as they used to be
Everyone's got troubles man, life ain't free
Work till you're broke so that ya won't be
Be a family man, heed the words of the Priest
Be a family man, 'least till they're eighteen
