Saturday’s fever means you’re staying alive
          C                   D                     C
Of course – an eight-ball of coke, you’re angry and broke

My mother misspoke by telling me the truth

Drink down the Drano ‘til the demons all leave
        Em     C          D           G
I won’t go – I told you I don’t wanna know

Wake up sleepwalking in your father’s missteps
           C             D                      C
The fridge door is open again, there’s leftover blame
                D                        G
You’re eating a shame and choking on the truth
G                          D
Here’s what it takes to be heard
G                      D
Angry rejoiners to discouraging words

What we once kept hidden from our parents
A#             D#
Now we keep it hidden from our kids
   G#             C#
No second chances ever in this life

Just another chance to make the same mistake twice

Let’s make a movie ‘bout a hardworking guy
           C                    D
Who wastes time with family and friends
              C                        D
And learns to pretend that when it all ends

And if the least you can do
G                              D
You fail your parents like you think they failed you

When they go - I told you I don’t wanna know
