Vandals, The - Too Much Drama lyrics

Album: Hitler Bad, Vandals Good (1998)

Hot step moms & surrogate dads
It breaks my heart to see him so sad
Lying alone in his room with a frown on
Reruns show him what he has missing out on
If life could be, like he sees it on T.V.
He´dn´t have to hurt so bad
Hurt so bad cause

It is too much drama
It is too much drama, dad & mama
Traded back & 4th till he turns 18
It is too much drama
The kid don´t need a new step grandma
So he joins a family on the screen

Can´t you see?
Too many parents leave
Too many sets of parents leave
A kid who can´t believe
How they can think that he can take it
It is all he can do to fake it

Out for a weekend with real dad
But the only thing real is how real bad
He just wants his life to be black & white
Those people never fight
If he could xerox
A home from the talking picture box
He´dn´t have to hurt so bad
Hurt so bad cause

Chorus

So he turns to T.V. for help & for guidance
A lot of his virtues he picked up from Linus
Fonzie taught him what it means to be cool
From Doogie he learned that he must go to school
Three´s Company taught him that just acting gay
Could lower the actual rent he´d pay
Cops showed beating your wife & your neighbour
Could immortalize you & your double wide trailer

Chorus
