The Vandals’s Too Much Drama Lyrics

Hot step moms and surrogate dads – It breaks my heart to see him so sad – Lying alone in his room with a frown on – Reruns show him what he’s missing out on – If life could be, like he sees it on TV – He wouldn’t have to hurt so bad – Hurts so bad `cause – It’s too much drama, too much drama Dad and Mama – Traded back and forth til he turns 18 – It’s too much drama, the kid don’t need no new step grandma – So he joins a family on the screen – Can’t you see? Too many parents leave – Too many sets of parents leave a kid who can’t believe – How they can think that he can take it – It’s all he can do to fake it – Off for a weekend with real Dad but – The only thing real is how real bad he – Just wants his life to be black and white – Those people never fight – If he could Xerox a home from the talking picture box – He wouldn’t have to hurt so bad – So he turns to TV for help and for guidance – A lot of his virtues he picked up from Linus – Fonzie taught him what it means to be cool – From Doogie he learned that he must go to school – Three’s Company taught him that just acting gay – Could lower the actual rent he would pay – Cops showed beating your wife and your neighbor – Could immortalize you and your double wide trailer
