​tpk - Family Matters lyrics

[Intro] Spring weather across the nation has beckoned millions of families to the open road where memories of a long tedious winter are quickly swifted away by generous doses of warm fragrant air Well birds of a feather fly together As an example, here's a couple vacationing in their pickup camper moving in for a outdoor broiled steak [Verse 1] In TV land, it's absolutely perfect But in the real world, it's completely absurdist How two people manage to get into argument Over who gets the last corn slice and sh** On the TV, they f**ing an*lyze What everybody's watching with their own damn eyes Which is the Kardashians because they don't have friends But they set the most trends like time and again So, they continually argue like they're on camera Except there are no cameras around And they don't have a deal with E!, so what the f** can they be? On the way to a divorce.... So therefore, we cut to them in f**ing court Where the woman gets everything and the man gets nothing So that's what they get for motherf**ing fronting They got themselves into a Family Matter for nothing [Interlude 1] And on a count of your ungrateful attitude I will... I don't want a big lecture, don't k** me Do you know what's wrong with this family? I don't know It was a family matter They had a fight, happens all the time I feel tied up in knots, this has gotten under my skin I never claimed I was perfect It was a family matter [Verse 2] The kids act out for attention I wonder where they learned their damn lesson Possibly from watching their parents have a god damn fit So they can get the better couch, and sh** So they throw things about, have a f**ing pout So they can get the toys and candy in the god damn house Having fun is part of being a kid But not when you're, spoiled as sh** So their parents sit them down to have a talk But they realize their walking the fine line all about By claiming that they sailed through every task Because they didn't have a job, to handle like a** They get fired, because they thought they were cool Anyways, they need to go back to school In order to learn lessons in god damn manners Before they get hit by a god damn hammer [Interlude 2] Nowadays a parent can't say hello to his child without being put on the defensive I make one little suggestion and look what happens But daddy please daddy It won't do you any good to scream It was a family matter Well I'm going to have it out with him right now Please don't be mad Daddy no! Why do you keep telling him everything's so great, it's a mess! It was a family matter [Verse 3] Dysfunctional familes are everywhere Because nobody, bothered to care About replicating the familes on them god damn TV That think that smiling leaves denchers in your god damn teeth They think that arguments release all the god damn stress Well it just leaves more, on your chest Therefore you're able to realize this That the family matter you'll unable to be able to escape from sh** Eventaully the house will turn to grime And you'll f**ing thought that you lost the time... Just arguing instead of being a perfect family All the angst and anger, all around Trying to leave the house, trying to f**ing get down Trying to talk to your teens but they don't want anything with you It seems that you failed in your god damn quest Oh well, you tried the best [Interlude 3] I wouldn't hurt your feelings for anything You already said that I don't know why you said you'd... How would you like it if your mother went and double-crossed you You're not helping any! It was a family matter You can't do that You're really going to get it when your father comes home from Cincinnati Are you crying up there When a guy's 10 years old, he's not allowed to cry I'm ashamed of you It was a family matter As long as we've been living with dad, I've never seen him so mad Am I going to have to become a tyrant to keep you in line? Alright, say I told you so I don't expect you to understand It was a family matter If the kid's going to get hit, better if he gets hit by his own parents Guess I wasn't being subtle You can be pretty wrong or pretty unjust to him and still wind up with a great big hug It was a family matter
