Family Man
by Everybodyduck

Album: Everybodyduck

Get into your car arid drive away old man
Your bags are packed, you've planned this trip for months
Be careful not to smile until you've gone another mile
And don't look back or your conscience might creep in
It sure was alot simpler than you thought it'd be
Breaking promises that you'd kept for years
Put your morals on the shelf, you're only thinking of yourself
But that's the only way to get the things you want
You traded in the family that you said you'd loved
Left your children to fend for themselves
Well at least you're happy now, sure they'll get over it
Somehow, small price to pay for a blond girl and a bed

Family man
Where is your family now
With their eyes full of tears, and their hearts torn apart at your hands
Well they're crying at home
Wondering what they did wrong
And you're trying to pretend that what you're doing's not a sin
But you're wrong

Walking through the door at three a.m. old man
Another night out drinking with the boys
And now you're seeing red because your family's all in bed
And so you take in on yourself to teach a lesson
To a blur of fists and feet your kids awaken
Oh the terror fills their tiny heads again
To them it's nothing new, hate's all they ever got from you
And now they're crying not from pain but from confusion
Your wife longing for love receives abuse instead
Not only from your fist, but also from your tongue
Your drunken words rip her apart, and all the anger breaks her heart
Because she knows tomorrow night will be the same
