Elephant

Debra's brother lives under the bridge
Her lesbian sister boasting about how many guys hit on her in a week
Paul was a suspect in '93
Got off on a technicality
Passed the background check with ease
Ooohhh
Bradley's a loser and an asshole
Sells qualifications with terrific prose
And they fly off the shelf
Stephanie slept with the boss
He fell in love and she fell all the way to the top
And now they're both single

Two by four to the forehead in a six by six
Where I take up residence
No one ate a bite of the 10-ton elephants
Everyone just looks at 'em different
The skin falls apart, but we all agree
Better than work it out
Reapply, make up a new fact
Like everything's fine, nothing to see here, get on with your life

Heard it's gone off the deep end
The sister's addicted to pills
And Paul shot the brother
The kids split weekends on opposite sides of the street
Waiting for dumbo to speak
Now there's a new boss
I can only imagine what goes on
In his office
But it's on to the next one
And I can hear 'em talking

Feels like he's a burden just for being awake
4 out of every 5 days
The other one he writes a sad song
Wants to be a rockstar
Like, how delusional can you possibly get?
"La la la la la la la la
Talk to the hand" is what he says as a response
Let's beat some sense into him

With a two by four to the forehead in a six by six
Where I take up residence
No one ate a bite of the 10-ton elephants
Everyone just looks at 'em different
The skin falls apart, but we all agree
Better than work it out
Reapply, make up a new fact
Like everything's fine, nothing to see here, get on with your life
