Fam Vac
I need a family vacation
I mean a family vacation alone
I'm gonna pack up the car
Load up the bike and the kayak
And leave the fucking family at home
A vacation away from the family
A vacation away from the fray
When it comes to your so-called loved ones
Sometimes you got to get away
Maybe I'll go to the mountains
Or else I'll get down to the shore
And I guess there's a chance
I might miss my people
But right now I can't stand 'em no more
When I'm barbecuing there on my Weber
I might be focused on my family
Then I'll throw down some hot dogs, burgers, and some chicken
Then I'll burn 'em all in effigy
Oh, oh
When I get back from my family vacation
Tanned and relaxed'll be the shape that I'm in
Yeah, I'll be patient and loving, not to mention, detached
When I'm dealing with my kith and my kin
We all need a family vacation
You got to keep the Mishpocha at bay
Tolstoy got it right when he wrote, "Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"
Oh, oh
I ran away from my parents
I still run away from my kids
As for brother and sister, we're playing Twister
It's a cover-up to keep ourselves hid from each other
I need a family vacation
My family needs a vacation from me
Because your dearest and nearest, they're the most dangerous
They're the ones that make ya crazy
That's right, your nearest and dearest, they're the most dangerous
They're the ones that make ya fucking crazy
Oh
Jean-Paul Sartre said it
"Hell is other people"
I mean a family vacation alone
I'm gonna pack up the car
Load up the bike and the kayak
And leave the fucking family at home
A vacation away from the family
A vacation away from the fray
When it comes to your so-called loved ones
Sometimes you got to get away
Maybe I'll go to the mountains
Or else I'll get down to the shore
And I guess there's a chance
I might miss my people
But right now I can't stand 'em no more
When I'm barbecuing there on my Weber
I might be focused on my family
Then I'll throw down some hot dogs, burgers, and some chicken
Then I'll burn 'em all in effigy
Oh, oh
When I get back from my family vacation
Tanned and relaxed'll be the shape that I'm in
Yeah, I'll be patient and loving, not to mention, detached
When I'm dealing with my kith and my kin
We all need a family vacation
You got to keep the Mishpocha at bay
Tolstoy got it right when he wrote, "Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"
Oh, oh
I ran away from my parents
I still run away from my kids
As for brother and sister, we're playing Twister
It's a cover-up to keep ourselves hid from each other
I need a family vacation
My family needs a vacation from me
Because your dearest and nearest, they're the most dangerous
They're the ones that make ya crazy
That's right, your nearest and dearest, they're the most dangerous
They're the ones that make ya fucking crazy
Oh

"Hell is other people"
