Up

Daddy’s in the kitchen (?) sauerkraut,

Momma’s in the bedroom nearly all cried out

Daddy thinks whiskey makes him big and smart,

Mamma thinks daddy’s got a concrete heart

I wish I had a brother or a sister into I could turn

Bustin’ out the windows with a baseball bat,

Daddy’s gone crazy like a bunk house rat,

Momma’s on the sofa with a big black eye

I cross my heart and tell myself I hope they die

I wish I had a nickel for every time I cursed the word (?)

Chorus

Mad house all topsy turvy a ship of fools with scurvy

I don't like a thing about the way we live

Momma’s on the pavement with a broken arm

Telling everybody that he meant no harm

Talk about denial with a great big D,

You can try to fool the neighbors but you can’t fool me

I wish some kind of millionaire would come adopt me on the spot

Chorus

Police knocked on our door, they’ve seen it all before

Why don’t you use restraint, we’ve had a few complaints

Chorus+

I don't like a thing about the way we live (repeat many times)
