The Hopeless Housewife Lyrics - The New America - Bad Religion

oh me oh my 

get out of your 1950's fantasy, 

your face shines with misery 

transparently 

spew out that sobering 

half-assed victim rhetoric 

make 'em all squirm 

while they chew on it 

it's a secret handshake 

and a passing wink of the eye 

as the witches bridge club weekly 

meets to pen the tail on the sly 

but they never ask 

"why oh why don't we raise our voices to the sky?" 

instead you're mute 

and fawn just waiting to die 

like some kind of hopeless housewife 

but you can change while you're alive 

and let 'em all know 

at least you tried to kill the demons inside 

oh me oh my 

damn your transcendental paralysis, 

we can work together 

and make sense of this 

don't be so sure 

you can chuck it all away 

you've got to proceed 

no matter how bad you want to stay 

it's a natural cause 

and a comfort zone 

there in your head 

and the world turns away 

as you tap the snooze button in bed 

but nobody can hear a word you said 

your history was never read 

instead you're mute 

and fawn just waiting to die 

like some kind of hopeless housewife 

but you can change while you're alive 

and let 'em all know 

at least you tried to kill the demons inside
