    Story Behind the Song
    No family is perfect and without entertainment value. If you think yours is perfect, you've got your eyes closed. The song was recorded with Marc Weller on bass, steel, and lead guitar. Johnny Dennis on Drums and I did all the vocals and ryhthm guitars. Recorded in my studio on a half inch, 16 track analog machine.

    Lyrics
    My folks are country club drunkards
    Drinking with the best
    Sister's mind's completely gone
    Hooked on crystal meth
    Brother's got a big degree
    He lives somewhere out west
    And I'm a worthless guitar picker
    Trying to do my best

    Always at each other's throats
    We just can't let it be
    We got so many problems
    They shouldn't let us breed
    But they want us to fight it out on national TV
    My family, Jerry Springer, and Me

    Sister blames the rest of us
    For her screwed up life
    A crazy laugh, a piercing voice
    And coked up, bugged out eyes
    We all keep getting sucked into
    Her soap opera lies
    But like a nightmare I can't run
    No matter how I try
