paroles de chanson Nuts and Bolts - David Prince

I just talked to my mother
She's angry again
Because my sister didn't call her last week
She said she was out with her friends
And my dad is mad at my older brother
Cause he don't have a job
And just sits around playing video games and livin' like a slob

And my older brother had a beef with my sister
Sue since we were kids
About something he can barely remember
That she supposedly did
I just can't wait 'till Thanksgiving
When the whole gang will be here
It'll start with smiles and kisses and hugs
And end with shouts and tears

Well, if you've got one, you know
Sometimes that's just the way that it goes
That's just the way it's got to be
Cause if you've got one, you're blessed
Even if it's just a terrible mess
Everything works out eventually
These are the nuts and bolts of the thing called family

I am not immune to this mess
You think it causes some stress
And you would be right
Here is an example of a real conversation
That I had with my mother just last night
I guess she's got a problem with the way
My wife and I have raised our kids
She wants to know how come we didn't
Raise them up the way that she and Dad did
And now your sister isn't married
Don't you think it's kinda scary
That she just goes out and parties every night
This is just another great example
Of the fact that she ain't livin' right
And your brother
He's just gotta get a job
How come he doesn't have a job
What's he gonna do?
Why didn't all my kids turn out just like you

Well, if you've got one, you know
Sometimes that's just the way that it goes
That's just the way it's got to be
Cause if you've got one, you're blessed
Even if it's just a terrible mess.
Everything works out eventually
These are the nuts and bolts of the thing called family

Oh they're crazy
But this is my family
Oh they're crazy
These are the people I love
Oh they're crazy
Maybe I'm a little bit crazy, too
And if one of them found themselves in any kind of trouble
There's nothing that I wouldn't do

Well, if you've got one, you know
Sometimes that's just the way that it goes
That's just the way it's got to be
Cause if you've got one, you're blessed
Even if it's just a terrible mess
Everything works out eventually
These are the nuts and bolts of the thing called family
