This is written in a
mocking fashion from my parent’s point of view, except for 4th
verse.
Moment of Truth
You have the right to remain uninvited
You can’t complain or get excited
Mind your manners if you please
Your temper is a bad disease
Weddings and funerals, invitation only
Lost you number and address, sorry
We will silence you as long as we live
Honor our stubbornness, refuse to forgive
We tell others that we tried with you
They believe us so we kept you out of the loop
We were all relieved when you took the hint
And ignored the requests that we all sent
Moment of truth, ask
you again
What did we do and
when did it begin?
What would it take to compromise?
Our apologies for your
lies …
Missed graduations and weddings too
Ashamed of ourselves for the things that you do
Family comes second we’ve got shopping to do
Nothing else matters, moment of truth
The best kept secret, we never cared for you
When your kids were born we didn’t visit you
No amount of guilt will change our mind
Thank God you are out of our lives
Police officer and the student loans
Charged you rent just to stay at home
Poker nights are much more exciting
Exiled you from your sister’s wedding
We aren’t wrong, you need help
For forcing us to learn what families do
We don’t want to try and we never did
Why did you marry her and have those kids?
The kids aren’t yours so we can refuse
To lighten our hearts and embrace this moment of truth
