The dogs are still expecting
your father is a general
Benjamin's a murderer
your sister is a sponge
your mother is a worker
Jonah, I ran into your mom, she isn't aging very well
sometimes I think her face is gonna burst
cause hiding pain is work, and your mother is a worker
Jonah, some thoughts about your sister -- her eyes are always closed
ever since that day she's held a certain pose
it's not a coma, she's the opposite of numb
some people soak pain up, and your sister is a sponge
and your mother is a worker
Jonah, I still see Ben, but if i bring your name up the conversation ends
cause he loaned you the shotgun you took up to the cabin
whatever people say, he only hears the words 'Benjamin's a murderer'
your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker
Jonah, Jonah, news about your dad -- you thought he drank before
now he drinks, his body is at war and his stomach's never full
cause your father is a general, Benjamin's a murderer
your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker
Jonah they gave me your goddamn dogs and I'm sick of what they do
they bark at everything until they see it isn't you
cause the dogs are still expecting, your father is a general
Benjamin's a murderer, your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker
The dogs are still expecting
your father is a general
Benjamin's a murderer
your sister is a sponge
your mother is a worker
