Quality Time

She's got a phone in one hand a hairbrush in the other[00:00:11]

And she says "Life's too short to stay home and be a mother"[00:00:16]

She says she can have it all 'cause that's The New Deal[00:00:21]

So God give her a hand 'cause she needs one for the wheel[00:00:25]

When he gets home from work it's well after seven[00:00:31]

But he drives a nice car so he thinks he's in Heaven[00:00:38]

And his kids hardly know him but they've all got nice clothes[00:00:43]

And in just a few hours more overtime he can pay-off that boat[00:00:48]

And they've got nice big houses and they've got nice big cars[00:00:52]

And it looks from the outside like they're really going far[00:00:58]

But there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound[00:01:03]

If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around[00:01:08]

When they get around to dinner they're damn near half-dead[00:01:17]

So they drive through McDonald's and put the kids off to bed[00:01:21]

But they're upwardly mobile and everything is fine[00:01:28]

'Cause when they do get together it's quality time[00:01:31]

And they've got nice big houses and they've got nice big cars[00:01:35]

And it looks from the outside like they're really going far[00:01:41]

But there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound[00:01:48]

If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around[00:01:52]

They want stickers on the music they want the laws turned around[00:02:02]

They want the cops to run Beavis and Butthead outta town[00:02:08]

They say they care about their children but it's just too damn hard[00:02:12]

To turn off that TV or sell off that car[00:02:17]

And they've got nice big houses and they've got nice big cars[00:02:23]

And it looks from the outside like they're really going far[00:02:28]

But there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound[00:02:33]

If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around[00:02:38]

There's a whole lot of people who can't make ends meet[00:02:46]

And on the wages that they're earning I know a family can't eat[00:02:54]

But I'm talking 'bout people who would sell their kid's soul[00:02:58]

To keep up with the Jones' no matter the toll[00:03:05]

And they've got nice big houses and they've got nice big cars[00:03:08]

And it looks from the outside like they're really going far[00:03:13]

But there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound[00:03:18]

If some moms and some dads don't start hanging around[00:03:24]

When they do get together it's quality time[00:03:30]
