Use a little common sense eh!
You have a new reputation to maintain
Don’t overload our dryer
With your dirty laundry
No - no sense starting a family war
With a little sweet revenge

After all
The old man’s close to pushing daisies
With a dagger in the dove
Mother’s been cultivating scar tissue
On the walls of her stomach love
Fearing you might pull another James Dean
Or worse - serial killer
After all
Jack the Ripper’s long since been immortalized
Freddy and Jason well on their way

And you?
Will they ever believe
You’ve beaten your syringe into a plowshare?
Before you’ve found your grave
