Acting So Bad Vic Chesnutt

[Verse]
And your mother is a fundamentalist
She's a pop culture queen
Still, you found your way to pregnancy
Before you found seventeen
And your father is a businessman
The kind that flies on planes
And you hid the liquor everywhere
You went to such great pains
And your eldest sister is a married lady
Yeah, but she can't understand
And your closest sister is angry
Yeah, you've felt her heavy hand
And you thwarted your education
By the bottle and the bed
And you evеn spent a night in jail
Yeah, your nose and facе were red
So you called the preacher faithfully
What a brilliant political move
Your parents heard of your repentance
Yeah, before they heard your hooves
And now you're so pleased with this happy ending
With things all on the smooth
That you go back to that lurid lounge
And get back in the groove
And maybe I should apologize
For not feeling a bit sad
To see someone in this family other than me
Acting so bad, bad, bad
