[Verse 1]
When Momma come home from work today
I'll tell you what she saw
Every toy that me and my sister owned
Was laying out on the floor
And the table was covered with peanut butter
And half-eaten sandwiches
Cereal bowls, an open jar of mayo
And an empty can of tuna fish
[Verse 2]
Dad was drinking a six pack
He had two or three bottles gone
Sports page was laying on the living room floor
And the football game was on
When Ma tripped over my toy transformer
That pushed her over the edge
And that's when we knеw she was turning into
Psycho Mom again
[Chorus]
She's screaming, I'm fеd up, I'm finished, I'm through
I've had it up to here with all of you
I am running away, I'm leaving today
I'm gonna join the carnival
But first I'm selling you kids for a dollar a pound
To a couple of cannibals
I used to be normal, used to be calm
Picking up after you animals
Turned me into Psycho Mom
[Verse 3]
Ma was working
Dad was babysitting us the other night
When me and my brother started yelling at each other
And we got into a fight
We were punching, kicking, scratching, pinching
Pulling each other's hair
Just about the time we knocked the TV over
We say Dad standing there
[Verse 4]
His blood was bubbling but he didn't say nothing
He stood there at the door
And me and my brother took a look at each other
And we looked up from the floor
And Dad started to scream like a wild banshee
And started pulling out his own hair
And that's when we knew he was psycho too
And we'd better get out of there
[Chorus]
He's screaming, I'm fed up, I'm finished, I'm through
I've had it up to here with both of you
I am running away, I'm leaving today
I'm gonna join the carnival
But first I'm selling you kids for a dollar a pound
To a couple of cannibals
I used to be normal, never got mad
Babysitting you animals
Has turned me into Psycho Dad
[Verse 5]
For an hour, mother and father
Were trying to keep us in bed
But me and my sister we never ever miss a
Chance to play with their heads
We were using every excuse in the book
To try to keep from going to sleep
She said "I'm thirsty", I said "I gotta pee"
She said "I forgot to brush my teeth"
(You guys know that one, don't ya?)
[Verse 6]
We just got done with that classic one
Upon this fateful night
You know where you say it's too dark and they turn on the light
Then you cry 'cause the light's too bright
Ma's eyes bugged out, Dad's head exploded
And they both climbed up the wall
You should thank the Lord that you were not born
To psycho Dad and Mom
[Chorus]
They're screaming, we're fed up, we're finished, we're through
We've had it up to here with all of you
We are running away, we're leaving today
We're gonna join the carnival
But first we're selling you kids for a penny a pound
To anybody that will take you
We used to be normal—you remember, dear?
We used to sit on mountaintops and read Ram Dass
And ponder higher levels of consciousness
Used to wear Birkenstocks for God's sakes
We never got mad
Raising you animals turned us into
Psycho Mom and Dad
When Momma come home from work today
I'll tell you what she saw
Every toy that me and my sister owned
Was laying out on the floor
And the table was covered with peanut butter
And half-eaten sandwiches
Cereal bowls, an open jar of mayo
And an empty can of tuna fish
