Lyrics

By dean friedman

Typical family in a typical town
Chasing our dreams with the top rolled down
Drive to the supermarket, travel up and down the aisles, past cereal boxes for miles and miles and miles

Stand in line at the register, looking through the magazines
At julia roberts and all them beauty queens
And ufo's in the usa and sightings of bigfoot, madonna and elvis and jfk

I know we're not alone. it's the same old story
This place we call our home. it's a typical town. and we're a typical family

Typical family in a typical town
Dress up our kids in hand-me-downs
Drive 'em to little league after school
Dance class, piano lessons, teach them to swim in the neighbor's pool

Pick up the paper, bringin' in the mail
Sort through the bills and the half-price discount sales
All we ever fight about is money and sex
Just hire a babysitter and take your honey to the cineplex

I know we're not alone. it's the same old story
This place we call our home. it's a typical town. and we're a typical family

Settle down for supper, kick off your shoes
Tuna surprise and the evening news
Help them with their homework, spend some time with your kids
Play some video games and send them to bed with a goodnight kiss

Peace and quiet at the end of the day
Turn on the tv and wash your cares away
All the wars and floods and assorted tragedies
Just thank god it didn't happen to you or me

I know we're not alone. it's the same old story
This place we call our home. it's a typical town. and we're a typical family
