Danny met a girl
While away at college
They really hit it off
And things were moving pretty quick
He thought it would be cool
To bring her home from school
To meet his parents
And say hi to his buddy Rick
WOOF WOO FWOOF WOOF
When they arrived
Nobody answered the door
The dog was barking
Dad was passed out on the floor
Empty bottles everywhere
The smell of vomit in the air
He never took her home again
They broke up after that weekend
Most people need
Just a little extra to keep their sanity
But it was too much here
Danny's dad liked his whiskey with a case of beer!!!!!
Susie had a job
To pay for classes
And with a little left
She wanted to move away
But she paid the rent
Because her family spent
Most of their own money
On fast food, junk, and drugs
While she was gone
Her sister found the stash
In her belongings
Looking for something to pawn for cash
The family lived a life of hell
Why shouldn't Susie do as well?
The mother clipped her daughter's wings
She dropped out and stopped waiting
Many people need
A little perspective to keep their dignity
What her family found
The best way to stay above was to keep Suzi down
Looking from the other side
In another time, nobody seemed to care
The vices helped them when
The help just wasn't there
One more shot for misery
Two more pills for the pain
Three more cigarettes to complete chain!!!!!1111
Most people need
Just a little extra something to keep their sanity
It'll leave a scar...
Danny found a brand new home in a townie bar
Many people need
A little perspective to keep their dignity
And what Susie learned
She had given others enough and now it's Susie's turn
