Daddys in the kitchen (?) sauerkraut,
Mommas in the bedroom nearly all cried out
Daddy thinks whiskey makes him big and smart,
Mamma thinks daddys got a concrete heart
I wish I had a brother or a sister into I could turn
Bustin out the windows with a baseball bat,
Daddys gone crazy like a bunk house rat,
Mommas on the sofa with a big black eye
I cross my heart and tell myself I hope they die
I wish I had a nickel for every time I cursed the word (?)
Mad house all topsy turvy a ship of fools with scurvy
I don't like a thing about the way we live
Mommas on the pavement with a broken arm
Telling everybody that he meant no harm
Talk about denial with a great big D,
You can try to fool the neighbors but you cant fool me
I wish some kind of millionaire would come adopt me on the spot
Police knocked on our door, theyve seen it all before
Why dont you use restraint, weve had a few complaints
Chorus+
I don't like a thing about the way we live (repeat many times)
