XTC Lyrics
"Happy Families"

Have you got Miss Fortune
She's the daughter of rich parents, all she does is cry
One four-letter word is all she wants
But you can't buy love so there's no supply

Will you take your Master Charge?
The boy who's living well beyond his parents' means
(Happy families)
See his parents kill theirselves with work to keep
Their dandy in the latest jeans
(Happy families)

Happy families is a kid's game
Happy families is your main aim
It starts out with a dealing in the middle of the night
And ends up with a full house

If you play your cards out right
Mum says Dad is cheating, you should see
The grown-ups fight for happy families
The game that's sure to please

Have you got your Master Race
The bigot son who like his dad is full of fear
(Happy families)
Not so much a sun, more of a storm to her
To burn the books when Dad's not here
(Happy families)

Happy families is a kid's game
Happy families is your main aim
You start out with your first cub
And you think that life's a song

You'll end up with a wolf pack
If you lay your cards out wrong
Dad says Mom is cheating
You can see the children long
For happy families
The game that's sure to please

Have you got Miss Carriage
She's the girl who wants a baby that she cannot find
(Happy families)
Strange, the ones who want to win the race
Are usually the ones who fall behind
