Martha and Junior live in a fall out shelter behind my house Martha paints by numbers junior runs off at the mouth Dogs always barking - hookers and junkies needles left out in the yard I watch it all from my back window and realize my life ain't so hard It's a sad sad world That's a cold hard fact Some people worry about falling in love While others are strung out on crack and it's not your fault and it sure ain't mine but any way Martha and Junior said to tell you that their doing fine | |
Martha and Junior are a little bit slower than most people think they should be I always saw'em as some kind of holy cause their halos were so easy to see People would laugh at the way that they talk and the haphazard way that they dressed Martha and Junior didn't say nothing but they cussed'em right under their breath It's a sad sad world and it's just not fair Some people don't have enough food to eat Others wonder what colors to wear and it's not your fault and it sure ain't mine but any way Martha and Junior said to tell you to have a good time | |
Martha has only one plan for the future That's to sell her a painting or two Junior's big dream is for cable TV To watch wrestling on Pay Per View No house in the hamptons, No PTA meetings No Nest eggs tucked away Just a hand me down tee shirt with a big smiling face and the words that say Have a Nice day | |
It's a sad sad world It makes me cry Some mornings I wake up weeping and I don't know why and it's not your fault and it sure ain't mine but any way Martha and Junior said to tell you that love must be blind Martha and Junior said to tell you to have a good time Martha and Junior said to tell you that their doing fine |
