The perfect nuclear family
The acceptable social unit
Man and wife with two point four kids
Whatever that actually means
Waving flags and singing national anthems proudly
As young boys go to war and comback
Disfigured and tormented screwed up men
But the nuclear family don’t witness the horrors
That the theater of war has in store
They’ll send off their own children
If they are sold the lie that a war is worth fighting for.
Meanwhile back in suburbia husband trims the lawn
And mother’s in the kitchen cooking up a storm
The kids are playing nicely and are polite ty o one another
They fit the perfect family role model ideom
But the truth is when the sun g oes down mother hits the gin
Father’s on Internet porn working out his frustrations
The kids are fighting and arguing
And the teen girl is self harming
The boy is smoking a sneaky joint while bullying and online trolling
The perfect nuclear family during the day seems so ideal
But when seen after the sun goes down the truth becomes real
They are dysfunctional and smothered by tiles not authentic
They’re just trying to fit into societies mold
And its sending them demented
And one day in the paper I read Father shot himself
And them with his gun
All because it all started breaking down
And their dream life was being undone
The perfect nuclear family
Exploded and went on a melt d own quite atomic
The perfect family unit you see is nothing but a tormenting joke.
