Generate meaning
1
She's got a phone in one hand, a hairbrush in the other
2
and she says, "Life's too short to stay home and be a mother"
3
She says she can have it all 'cause that's The New Deal
4
so God give her a hand, 'cause she needs one for the wheel
5
When he gets home from work, it's well after seven
6
But he drives a nice car so he thinks he's in Heaven
7
and his kids hardly know him but they've all got nice clothes
8
and in just a few hours more overtime he can pay-off that boat
9
And they've got nice big houses, and they've got nice big cars
10
and it looks, from the outside, like they're really going far
11
but there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound
12
if some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
13
When they get around to dinner they're damn near half-dead
14
so they drive through McDonald's and put the kids off to bed
15
But they're upwardly mobile and everything is fine
16
'cause when they do get together, it's quality time
17
And they've got nice big houses, and they've got nice big cars
18
and it looks, from the outside, like they're really going far
19
but there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound
20
if some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
21
They want stickers on the music, they want the laws turned around
22
They want the cops to run Beavis and Butthead outta town
23
They say they care about their children, but it's just too damn hard
24
To turn off that TV or sell off that car
25
And they've got nice big houses, and they've got nice big cars
26
and it looks, from the outside, like they're really going far
27
but there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound
28
if some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
29
There's a whole lot of people who can't make ends meet
30
and on the wages that they're earning, I know a family can't eat
31
But I'm talking 'bout people who would sell their kid's soul
32
to keep up with the Jones', no matter the toll
33
And they've got nice big houses, and they've got nice big cars
34
and it looks, from the outside, like they're really going far
35
but there's trouble in the engine and we're junkyard-bound
36
if some moms and some dads don't start hanging around
37
When they do get together, it's quality time
