He’s lookin’ in the mirror
Checkin’ out his hair
Puttin on his cologne

Every little wisker’s gone

He’s goin’ out with the perfect wife
But she ain’t his own

Everybody’s doin’ it

Don’t breathe a word
Cat’s got your tongue

A
Momma makes the breakfast
Packs the kids lunch
And sends them on their way

She cleans up the kitchen
Makes all the beds
And loads up her TV tray

Oh but that ain’t coffee in her coffee cup
That gets her through the day
(REPEAT Chorus)

Pretending it ain’t happenin’

Won’t make it disappear

Look the other way
E
But it’s still hear

A
You can hear ‘em screamin’
And yellin’ through the walls
Just another normal night
D
You hear glass breakin’
And babies cryin’
But you say it’s gonna be alright
E
You just turn up the volume on your radio
And turn down the lights
(REP Chorus 3x)
