Lyrics

Well the children are shooting their BBs
And the grown-ups are drinking their scotch
They're complaining about the new president
And what's going down in his watch
And the women are all in the kitchen
They are baking that blueberry pie
And the men are all secretly hoping
They won't be the next one to die
And this year will be better than last year
Last year was better than most
Most years I find myself under the covers
Trying to hide from a ghost
Yes there is so much to hope for
No there is nothing to fear
I never had anything quite like the year
That I know I will have this year
Well the children are drinking their sodas
And the grown-ups are shooting their looks
They're complaining about the economy
'Cause Wall Street's a bunch of damn crooks
And the women are all in the kitchen
They are comparing the width of their thighs
And the men are all secretly hoping
That no one discovers their lies
And this year will be much worse than last year
Last year was much worse than most
Most years I find myself under the covers
Playing the ungracious host
No there is nothing to hope for
Yes there is so much to fear
I never had anything quite like the year
That I know I will have this year
Well my cousin got kicked out of college
My brother just shipped overseas
My sister found out that she's pregnant
The father skipped town like the breeze
And we all know that things could be better
But we're happy that we could be here
So let's pour one more round and be thankful
For all that will happen this year
And this year will be better than last year
And this year will be so much worse
It will love me and it will betray me
It's blessing comes wrapped in a curse
And I don't know what there is to hope for
But this much is certain my dear
I never had anything quite like the year
That I know I will have this year
I never had anything quite like the year
That I know I will have this year
