All the lights went out
I seen you there
Gnawing on tobacco leaves
And grinning

Why was the farm fore closed
I thought you had the cash
Did you lose it some place strange?
I wonder

Severed wires to the house
I don't think that they work
No buzzing electricity
It's eerie

Family full of failure
Proud to lose

Grandpa's sleeping near the shed
Beneath a wooden cross
I never liked that awful man
He hit me

Grandma carved a totem pole
`Bout twenty storiеs high
It looked down at our meager work
And shuddеred
The out house door is busted in
There is no privacy
Papa will not get it fixed
It's shameful

Family full of failure
Proud to loose

Pushed my sweet heart on a swing
She fell and skinned her kneel
Uncle said it was my fault
It wasn't

Do not spoil children
Or they'll grow to be obscene
Yesterday is a frightful thing
To ponder

Coonskin cap with colt dragoons
Don't try to feed me ham
The doner party lost their way
Be careful

Family full of failure
Proud to lose
