Regular People Lyrics

The children never talk

We've finally shut them up

Always talking over those they only should obey

They can't leave home too soon

We lock them up in their room

So they can think it over every time they misbehave

Some things shouldn't have to change

It's how we both

Were raised

It's how regular people are made

We might be all

The same

But you'll be better off this way

The children think too much

They've hardly a fear of god

Always asking questions, they should only wish away

Sunday's every week

With father Montgomery

As they've gotten older, they can hardly stay awake

But everybody has to pray

It's how we both

Were raised

It's how regular people are made

We might be all

The same

But you'll be better off this way

I'm dying to meet you

As I really am

But trying to please you

Just fucks with my head

I've waited my whole life

To welcome you in

You don't want to lay down

But you made the bed

Something's gonna have to change

It's how we both

Were raised

It's how regular people are made

We might be all

The same

But you'll be better off this way

The children never call

How could they just cut us off?

I guess that's twenty years we should have never gave away

People shouldn't have to change
