Four Lives

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The picket fence, the lawn, this family Two cars, two kids, a little ecstasy Dad's pattern bald and middle of the road At home he's dick at work he does what he's told Mom's a copy, lives by proxy Martha Stewart beds and bows Son is shady, sister's hazy In cyberspace and TV shows [Chorus] Here's the story of a family Four lives, four secrets deep The rage, the pain, the ecstasy A roof, a place to sleep [Verse 2] Visa buys sis what she's taught she needs She squints her eyes and sees herself in those things Four sizеs smaller, hair sleek and gold Three inches taller, clothеs chic and bold Son is scattered, higher, madder Thinks his dad's a burnt out slave Sells his sister E to twist her Til she's dazing at the rave [Chorus] Here's the story of a family Four lives, four secrets deep The rage, the pain, the ecstasy A roof, a place to sleep [Bridge] They're your ordinary family Four secrets deep but the eye can see The love, the hate, the irony They're living but they can't be [Chorus] Here's the story of a family Four lives, four secrets deep The rage, the pain, the ecstasy A roof, a place to sleep [Outro] They're your ordinary family Four secrets deep but the eye can see The love, the hate, the irony They're living but they can't be
