While my dad gently weeps — текст песни (Furnaceface)

[Punctuality is stressed in this household. By that, I mean
hair is combed and faces and hands scrubbed before the boys come
to the table so they won`t delay the meal. Now, mother and daughter
put the finishing touches on the dinner. Father, too, looks forward
to this date with the family. He has had a hard day at the office
and in his briefcase are some contracts which must be looked
over tonight. But in the meantime, he will relax at dinner with
those he loves.]

Let`s grab some cash from Dad`s wallet while he`s asleep
and while we`re at it, let`s steal the old man`s keys
We`ll take his Volvo downtown, cruise around, check out the scene
We`ll buy some beer and then do donuts in the parking lot across the street

CHORUS:
While the old man is asleep
into his bedroom we will creep
We`ll steal his money and his keys
while the old man is asleep

Let`s crack open his liquor cabinet and have a few
A couple for me, 15 for you!
Hey, take it easy, that`s Dad`s favourite chair you`re covering in puke!

[Children are not possessions.]

Let`s play his records at 78
You know, at this speed, Paul Anka sounds great
Let`s pop a couple of his heart pills just for fun

[Mr. Cook?
Yes?
You have a son named Robin? Robin Cook, age 17?
Yes.
I`m sorry, Mr. Cook. You better come down to the station house.
Your son is dead.]

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAA-HAA-HAA-HAAA!!!!!!

Hey, I don`t hear him snoring anymore
Hey, hey, hey, he`s in my van, and he`s listening to hardcore!
Isn`t that my wallet on the dash?
Isn`t that my girlfriend in his lap??

I guess I musta been asleep
Into my bedroom he did creep
He stole my money and my girl
I guess I musta been asleep

[He died of an overdose.
Oh, my God...sob...sob...]
[Things get a little easier once you understand.]
