lyrics
THE IDEA OF HAVING CHILDREN
you applied and you got in
and you did good and stayed thin
to get a guy who had a heart
and didn't lie and did his part
to get the jobs to get the stuff
and when it seemed you had enough
it was then the idea spoke up
but the idea did not include
all the abuse and attitude
that she can throw with such weight
slut clothes out late
and does she drink and does she smoke
and is she easily provoked
and this is how the idea just broke
and talking won't help
talking won't help
why start now
now she's applied so you just wait
until she's in another state
she's sure to call a lot to start
but you've done your part
she'll try to smooth whatever's rough
and when it seems she's all grown up
will the idea still feel this stuck
