Family Circus - Nasty Savage

There's a way it ought to be 
And there's a way it is 
Love and hate at the same moment 
Never agree about anything 
Not another broken promise 
No such thing as privacy 
Screaming at the top of your lungs 
To get someone's attention 
Life is often difficult 
Another miserable child 
No one ever changes 
This routine never ends 

Family circus, daddy's little lave 
Family circus, he'll put you in the grave 
Family circus, mother wants to run away 
Family circus, another unpleasant day 

The dog got ran over 
And he's still OK 
The cat jumps on the table 
And starts to eat your dinner 
Little sister's pregnant 
Brother got put in jail 
Mom screams and yells at her kids 
Dad screams and yells at her 
A holiday is here 
A day of guilt and grace 
Grandma keeps telling you 
How it was in her day 

Family circus, arguing every day 
Family circus, not another emotional wave 
Family circus, it keeps going in circles 
Family circus, even when you're old and grey 

Kiss and hug a relative 
You hardly even know 
Affection, attention, concern 
Is never shown around here 
A psycho babysitter 
Took the dog for a walk 
Oh! Not another lecture 
You can't make your own decision 
Go out and get a job 
And cut off all your hair 
Or work at the garbage dump 
And keep playing guitar 

Family circus, endless frustration 
Family circus, yelling and aggravation 
Family circus, the dog never stops barking 
Family circus, he just wants to take a walk
