There are problems in the Middle East
So what else is new
They are always hating each other's guts
Always a hullabaloo
High anxiety
Death in the dead sea
There's no place to flee for you and for me
Well we can all agree this ain't no way to be
There are problems with your mom and dad
So what else is new
Your dad's a cheater and your mom's drinker
Lotsa ugly they get into
Can't close your eyes
Can't stand the lies
Wish they would compromise
That they don't is no surprise
Will this make you wise
These mangled tangled family ties
There are troubles ahead, bigger than the ones behind
Anyone who says there're not are running 'round blind
There are troubles in your workaday world
Your boss is jerk
He treats like a slab of week-old meat
A no-nothing clerk
You want to kick his ass, kill all the top brass
The ceiling is glass
You're reaching critical mass
The only way to take a pass
Is to go home and turn on the gas
