The dogs are still expecting

your father is a general

Benjamin's a murderer

your sister is a sponge

your mother is a worker

Jonah, I ran into your mom, she isn't aging very well

sometimes I think her face is gonna burst

cause hiding pain is work, and your mother is a worker

Jonah, some thoughts about your sister -- her eyes are always closed

ever since that day she's held a certain pose

it's not a coma, she's the opposite of numb

some people soak pain up, and your sister is a sponge

and your mother is a worker

Jonah, I still see Ben, but if i bring your name up the conversation ends

cause he loaned you the shotgun you took up to the cabin

whatever people say, he only hears the words 'Benjamin's a murderer'

your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker

Jonah, Jonah, news about your dad -- you thought he drank before

now he drinks, his body is at war and his stomach's never full

cause your father is a general, Benjamin's a murderer

your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker

Jonah they gave me your goddamn dogs and I'm sick of what they do

they bark at everything until they see it isn't you

cause the dogs are still expecting, your father is a general

Benjamin's a murderer, your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker

The dogs are still expecting

your father is a general

Benjamin's a murderer

your sister is a sponge

your mother is a worker
