[00:10.48]She's got a phone in one hand, a hairbrush in the other
[00:15.86]And she says life's too short to stay at home and be a mother
[00:20.73]She said that she could have it all because that's the new deal
[00:25.83]So God give her a hand cause she needs one for the wheel
[00:32.54]When he gets home from work, man, it's well after seven
[00:37.87]And he drives a nice car and so he thinks he's in heaven
[00:43.05]But his kids hardly know him, they've all got nice clothes
[00:47.99]In just a few hours more overtime, he can pay off that boat
[00:53.38]They got nice big houses, they got nice big cars
[00:58.63]Looks from the outside like they're really going far
[01:03.06]But there is trouble in the engine and we're junkyard bound
[01:08.50]If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
[01:17.48]When they get around to dinner, man, they're damn near half dead
[01:22.58]So they drive through McDonald's and put their kids up to bed
[01:27.61]But they are upwardly mobile and everything is fine
[01:32.77]Cause when they do get together, man, it's quality time
[01:38.20]They got nice big houses, they got nice big cars
[01:43.55]Looks from the outside like they're really going far
[01:47.74]But there is trouble in the engine and we're junkyard bound
[01:53.35]If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
[02:02.07]They want stickers on the music, they want the laws turned around
[02:07.27]They want the cops to run Phoebus and Butthead out of town
[02:12.44]They say they care about their children, but it's just too damn hard
[02:17.77]To turn off that TV or to sell off that car
[02:22.98]They like those nice houses, they like those nice cars
[02:28.08]Looks from the outside like they're really going far
[02:32.43]But there is trouble in the engine and we're junkyard bound
[02:37.83]If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
[02:46.58]Now there's a whole lot of people who can't make ends meet
[02:51.86]And on the wages that they're earning, I know a family can't eat
[02:56.42]And I am talking about people who would sell their kid's soul
[03:02.17]To keep up with the Joneses, no matter the toll
[03:07.72]They like those nice houses, they like those nice cars
[03:13.16]Looks from the outside like they're really going far
[03:17.40]But there is trouble in the engine and we're junkyard bound
[03:23.07]If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
[03:36.83]But when they do get together, man, it's quality time
