Happy ever after
That's the story that you're told
When you're young, your mother says it's so
But when you hear them fight
In your bedroom late at night
You wonder does she really know
Can't you see
This ain' t the way it's supposed to be
Mother father sister brother
Happy family
Can't you see
I hate the way that you talk to me
Mother father sister brother
Happy family
Jealousy and laughter
No one ever told you why, oh why
But they stay together always do or die
When he looks at you
Just do as i say not as i do
No wonder that your anger, anger grows
Can't you see
This ain' t the way it's supposed to be
Mother father sister brother
Happy family
Can't you see
I play no part of your misery
Mother father sister brother
Happy family
Can't you see, can't you see?

When you hear them fight

Happy family

I play no part of your misery
Mother father sister brother
