[Intro]
Spring weather across the nation has beckoned millions of families to the open road where memories of a long tedious winter are quickly swifted away by generous doses of warm fragrant air
Well birds of a feather fly together
As an example, here's a couple vacationing in their pickup camper moving in for a outdoor broiled steak
[Verse 1]
In TV land, it's absolutely perfect
But in the real world, it's completely absurdist
How two people manage to get into argument
Over who gets the last corn slice and sh**
On the TV, they f**ing an*lyze
What everybody's watching with their own damn eyes
Which is the Kardashians because they don't have friends
But they set the most trends like time and again
So, they continually argue like they're on camera
Except there are no cameras around
And they don't have a deal with E!, so what the f** can they be?
On the way to a divorce....
So therefore, we cut to them in f**ing court
Where the woman gets everything and the man gets nothing
So that's what they get for motherf**ing fronting
They got themselves into a Family Matter for nothing
[Interlude 1]
And on a count of your ungrateful attitude I will...
I don't want a big lecture, don't k** me
Do you know what's wrong with this family?
I don't know
It was a family matter
They had a fight, happens all the time
I feel tied up in knots, this has gotten under my skin
I never claimed I was perfect
It was a family matter
[Verse 2]
The kids act out for attention
I wonder where they learned their damn lesson
Possibly from watching their parents have a god damn fit
So they can get the better couch, and sh**
So they throw things about, have a f**ing pout
So they can get the toys and candy in the god damn house
Having fun is part of being a kid
But not when you're, spoiled as sh**
So their parents sit them down to have a talk
But they realize their walking the fine line all about
By claiming that they sailed through every task
Because they didn't have a job, to handle like a**
They get fired, because they thought they were cool
Anyways, they need to go back to school
In order to learn lessons in god damn manners
Before they get hit by a god damn hammer
[Interlude 2]
Nowadays a parent can't say hello to his child without being put on the defensive
I make one little suggestion and look what happens
But daddy please daddy
It won't do you any good to scream
It was a family matter
Well I'm going to have it out with him right now
Please don't be mad
Daddy no!
Why do you keep telling him everything's so great, it's a mess!
It was a family matter
[Verse 3]
Dysfunctional familes are everywhere
Because nobody, bothered to care
About replicating the familes on them god damn TV
That think that smiling leaves denchers in your god damn teeth
They think that arguments release all the god damn stress
Well it just leaves more, on your chest
Therefore you're able to realize this
That the family matter you'll unable to be able to escape from sh**
Eventaully the house will turn to grime
And you'll f**ing thought that you lost the time...
Just arguing instead of being a perfect family
All the angst and anger, all around
Trying to leave the house, trying to f**ing get down
Trying to talk to your teens but they don't want anything with you
It seems that you failed in your god damn quest
Oh well, you tried the best
[Interlude 3]
I wouldn't hurt your feelings for anything
You already said that
I don't know why you said you'd...
How would you like it if your mother went and double-crossed you
You're not helping any!
It was a family matter
You can't do that
You're really going to get it when your father comes home from Cincinnati
Are you crying up there
When a guy's 10 years old, he's not allowed to cry
I'm ashamed of you
It was a family matter
As long as we've been living with dad, I've never seen him so mad
Am I going to have to become a tyrant to keep you in line?
Alright, say I told you so
I don't expect you to understand
It was a family matter
If the kid's going to get hit, better if he gets hit by his own parents
Guess I wasn't being subtle
You can be pretty wrong or pretty unjust to him and still wind up with a great big hug
It was a family matter
