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My family is too outdated!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My family is too outdated!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My family is too outdated!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My family is too outdated!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My family is too outdated!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My family is too outdated!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!
