lyrics

A family with six kids
Squeezed into the world's tiniest house
They had a dog it starved to death
They couldn't afford to feed it

The second youngest girl made a name for herself
Developed a comparatively substantial amount of wealth
The rest remained in poverty engaged in recurring battles with
Problematic drug use and disturbing thought patterns

But I try to avoid thinkin' about those type of things
But I can't help but think about those types of things

A man in his mid-30's was found dead the other day
Not long after he was heard making the claim
That he'd had a stroke of insight and there was only one way
That he would ever be leaving this cunt of a place

His daughter was unborn at the time
But she continues to ask
What did daddy's voice sound like and
Why won't you tell me how he died?

But I try to avoid thinkin' about those type of things
But I can't help but think about those types of things
