Family Is Overrated!

Headin’ back home I don’t know what to think I want to roam but "I disagree," says my shrink What does he know anyway? And why does he want me to stay? Family is overrated! Family makes life no fun! My family is too outdated! My family makes me want to run! Walkin’ through the door I see my dad My bags hit the floor and My dad looks rather mad Why does he think I’m so bad? And whys he always mad? Family is overrated! Family makes life no fun! My family is too outdated! My family makes me want to run! I see my mom too What does she think She says, "Your rents due!" and She leaves with a wink Why should I have to pay rent? When all my moneys spent? Family is overrated! Family makes life no fun! My family is too outdated! My family makes me want to run! I see my brother Sittin' on his bed I ask him, "What’s with mother?" But He never heard what I said Never liked him anyway I feel like I’ve been betrayed Family is overrated! Family makes life no fun! My family is too outdated! My family makes me want to run! We gather ’round the table For some dinner "So are you able to pick anyone but a sinner?" My mom never liked my girlfriend Thought she’d pass like a trend Family is overrated! Family makes life no fun! My family is too outdated! My family makes me want to run! Packed my things up and Headed for the door "I’m leavin' for a distant land!" Then My mom’s jaw hit the floor Never liked my family anyway! Wanted to leave every day! Family is overrated! Family makes life no fun! My family is too outdated! My family makes me want to run!
