Raise a Family

Maybe I'm just 30 and I don't want to go to parties anymore
Only really need a few close friends
I'm just tryin' to keep the hair on my head
I think it's time we tie the knot and
You and I can make some babies

Marriage, mortgage - can't afford it
We are destined to fail
Lots of time, we are late
what the hell smashing through the boundaries?
Lunacy as found me - gotta have a family

Boys will tell you they'll take care of you
But I can tell you girl that there is only one thing that they are after
we ain't got no money, honey, it's true
10,000 vacant in the place where Elvis said I do
love me tender

four kids, food stamps - trying to make words count
endless days of minimum wage
love is ours, food's a dream - a better day
two kids, two cars, life insurance, credit cards
carry on the legacy - it's time to raise a family
