Understanding the market
Dad envisioned something more
If we had extra kids again
It could explode as it did before
Welcome a brand new family
With five children of their own
Needing to make an impression
We deep clean our tiny abode
Desperate for real friends
We are happy to oblige
Allow us a bit of happiness
We will peacefully stand by
Two days after meeting
They join our candy selling team
Paired up with their offspring
Personalized training on our scheme
Back in the RV park we share
We introduce them to the neighbors
Even though my female friend is 14
The pedophiles come out, unstable
Meanwhile my adolescent mind
Makes hasty, dangerous decisions
Flushing a cherry bomb down the toilet
Unwilling to participate in traditions
Unrelated to this incident
My Dad forcefully opts to move
Into another space in the same RV park
Sparks a fuse between our two
Parents who tend to cause a scene
Frustrated, though I don’t know why
Moving into space number 141
Causing them to fuss and fight
Going back to selling
My intuition begins to kick in
I wish it had come sooner
To keep me safe from sinister grins
“I went to a Ralphs, it scared me
We went to Lucky’s instead
I sold forty dollars
Came home, cleaned, and went to bed”
We are selling out like crazy
With this new crew we have trained
When we’re home, we’re in the zone
Labeling products for this PrePaid Legal game
But, ah the curtain is closing
Mom gives up, no longer willing to fight
We are moving to Saint Helena
Needing space in order to survive
This crazy circus we’ve lived in
For too long we’ve been out of touch
There is much more to this world
We are tired of being thrust
Into Dads wild imagination
The dollar bills rule his mind
And adding people to this dream
Would make him feel more alive
That’s it, we are done, it’s over
Let’s end the madness today
This world of ours isn’t normal
It’s time to split and part our ways
