Big Brother by HappyHappy Lyrics
Keep the lights in the kitchen on
You get custody in the summer months, hooray
Find happiness in a can
First one, then two, then three, then four, then five, then-
Well first I am drinking
And then I am driving
And I need to get home
Before I start cryin'
(Jesus fucking Christ!)
Musta gotten lost on the way back
In the city and the mountains
In the city and the trees
I know I'm a long way gone from out-of-state
Even longer trip back to in-state
Air conditioner in my car is broken
I gotta fix it
With two thousand dollars
That's more than I made all summer
That's more than I made all summer
But your big, big brother's gonna change the way that we see the world tonight
He will take us to the mall, drop us off by the ice rink
Near the food court and the Dick's Sporting Goods store
Near the Starbucks where I had my first cup of coffee
Everything was going so perfect
Everything was going so well
Until everyone up and decided they were more important than anyone else
And now you wonder why you're homeless and friendless
And searching for a job
Burning bridges to keep warm for the summer
Makin' friends just to cut them off
And now I am pouring money into textbooks and fixing my car
So I can leave this state comfortably
Learned more life lessons in the past couple days
Than in the time it took me to turn twenty
But I wouldn't have gone out tonight
If I'd only known
That the firing squads would keep you at home
'Cause nothing says lock your doors and stay inside
Like a bullet to the leg
And I probably wouldn't have come here
If I had been properly informed
Of the consequences of drivin' drunk in a rainstorm
But your big, big brother's gonna change the way that we see the world tonight
He will take us to the mall, drop us off by the ice rink
Near the food court and the Dick's Sporting Goods store
Near the Starbucks where I had my first cup of coffee
You get custody in the summer months, hooray
Find happiness in a can
First one, then two, then three, then four, then five, then-
Well first I am drinking
And then I am driving
And I need to get home
Before I start cryin'
(Jesus fucking Christ!)
Musta gotten lost on the way back
In the city and the mountains
In the city and the trees
I know I'm a long way gone from out-of-state
Even longer trip back to in-state
Air conditioner in my car is broken
I gotta fix it
With two thousand dollars
That's more than I made all summer
That's more than I made all summer
But your big, big brother's gonna change the way that we see the world tonight
He will take us to the mall, drop us off by the ice rink
Near the food court and the Dick's Sporting Goods store
Near the Starbucks where I had my first cup of coffee

And now you wonder why you're homeless and friendless
