   D             Gm              D Am D
we guarantee it won't collect a speck
G               Gm          D       F#m    Bm
freeing up the children to instead grow into your molding
D   F#m       Bm               E                           A
  heed more of your scolding, go early to their new self-making beds
D                       Gm
it seems like you'd be tired of losing face

           D                   Gm              D Am D
like you'd want to put the children in their place
    G                 Gm          D   F#m     Bm
the more you have to tell them to do their chores
    E                              A      A7
the more you run the risk of being ignored

[Chorus]
Em               D                  A
if you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you
    Em                     D                 A
you tell them that they're good kids but you know that it's not true
     D              F#m                Bm          G
your father drank a little, you're on liver number two

D                   Gm             D Am D
convenient new inventions beg and tease
    G              Gm           D      F#m       Bm
for though it is impossible to cure a husband bent on cheating
D      F#m  Bm             D    F#m          Bm
  the oxygen depleting...  a child who's always bragging
D    F#m        Bm
  a wife's persistent nagging
E                                    A  A7
we're equipped to live as though it were

[Chorus]
Em               D                  A
if you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you
    Em                     D                 A
you tell them that they're good kids but you know that it's not true
     D              F#m                Bm          G
your father drank a little, you're on liver number two
