"Morning Cartoons" lyrics

You were only
A child
But they grow up so fast
Wake up
Turn on the morning cartoons
With your cereal
Go on write it down
And seal it in an envelope
That's signed to your name

You don't understand
Your old man's tired as hell
He's worked his hands to a swell
But the only care you comprehend
Is your weekend plans

Go and take my last fifteen
It's in my purse
You better not buy cigarettes
With all the time that you have left
Who you trying to impress?
Boy you're balancing yourself
On a knife's edge

You don't even care
Your mama's losing her hair
She's up all night
Slaving away
In the kitchen
'Cause you left your dishes there
You don't even care
Oh, nothing

You don't even care
Your mama's losing her hair
She's up all night
Slaving away
In the kitchen
'Cause you left your dishes there
You don't even care
