When They Get Divorced

from Not For Kids Really by Dan Latner

/

lyrics

Something’s changing in the air around our one time happy home
A cruel wind has blown uninvited from the North
The ground’s become unstable like it’s flooding from beneath
Hard to trust our feet to find the right way moving forth

Mama’s feeling down, watching stories all the day
With a glass of chardonnay and one eye on the door
Daddy’s always home late with a pocket full of lies
And a sadness in his eyes that says “I can’t do this no more”

Little brother don’t you cry
I’ll always be beside you
There to help you anytime you call
Any way this turns out
Just know it’s not your fault
They still love you of course
And we’ll get more presents when they get divorced

While they go blow our inheritance to sort the alimony
Home might get a little lonely so we’ll have to make a plan
To keep our chins and spirits up, inner peace is a decision
Internet and television will raise us better than they can

It may be hard at first when they bring around new beaus
But if we just play up our woes they’ll bring down presents from above
So lets never act too satisfied, never too fulfilled
We can leverage all their guilt and make them quarrel for our love


Twice as much on birthdays
Twice on Christmas too
Channukah if dad marries a jew

We’ll get more presents when they get divorced….
