Another suburban family morning.

Grandmother screaming at the wall.

We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
A (x02220@1)            C#m7 (x4242x@1)      G*-D*  G*-D* 
We can't hear anything at all.

Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration,
A (x02220@1)             Bm*	B7*   Bm*
But we know all her suicides are fake.

Daddy only stares into the distance
Dm7*        	  Dm6*          	D*-E*  D*-E*
There's only so much more that he can take.

Another industrial ugly morning
A (x02220@1)          C#m7 (x4242x@1)           G*-D*  G*-D*
The factory belches filth into the sky.

A (x02220@1)          C#m7 (x4242x@1)           G*-D*  G*-D*
He doesn't think to wonder why.

The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street,
A (x02220@1)             Bm*		B7*   	Bm*
But all he ever thinks to do is watch.
Dm7*( 565)        Dm6*( 465)        Dm7*     Dm6*
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Dm7*        	  Dm6*          D*-E*  D*-E*
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch.

The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache.

Of a cottage on the shore of a dark
