Nathan is 15 and he lives in his room He’s trying to learn every Hendrix tune Jeannie’s a year older and she lives at the mall She dresses in black, she’s seen it all
They got a pit bull named Uzi, who’s lost all his teeth Got a Boa Constrictor whose name is Keith Mom is an artist, she’s had to persevere And Dad came out of the closet last year
Hey, hey what can you say They are living in the land of the free My, my they are trying to get by, like you and me Just an average American Family
They’ve got a house and a mortgage and a Volvo sedan They got a basement full of cannabis plants Mom makes a brownie that’s the living end And if you don’t believe me, ask Dad’s boyfriend
Hey, hey what can you say They are living in the land of the free My, my they are trying to get by, like you and me Just an average American Family
Every where you look, in every little town It takes all kinds to make this world go around
And if they don’t always have dinner together That don’t mean they’re not birds of a feather Friday nights they get out the old Ouija board And channel with a Spanish conquistador
Hey, hey what can you say They are living in the land of the free My, my they are trying to get by, like you and me Just an average American Family
