And your mother is a fundamentalist.
She's a pop culture queen.
Still you found your way to pregnancy
before you found seventeen.
and your father is a businessman the
kind that flies on planes and you hit
the liquor everywhere you went to such great
pains and your eldest sister is a
married lady, yeah,
but she can't understand
And your closest sister is angry,
yeah, you felt her heavy hand
And you thwarted your education
by the bottle and the bed
And you even spent a night in jail
Yeah, your nose and face were red
So you called the preacher
Faithfully, what a brilliant political move
Your parents heard of your repentance,
yeah, before they heard your who's.
And now you're so pleased with this happy ending,
with things all on the smooth, that
you go back to that low red lounge
and get back in the groove
and maybe I should apologize
for not feeling a bit sad
to see someone in this family
other than me
We actin' so bad, bad, bad
