The Idiouts - My Four Uncles Lyrics

I've had uncles and uncles and uncles galore
Jim, Jack, Johnnie, James and just a few more
A hundred-fifty and one Russians before
But there's still the pain of him walking out that door

She wasn't thinking that much
She was just drinking too much
She wouldn't tell me at all
She didn't give me a call that

She wasn't coming home tonight
She was out there to crawl the pubs 'til light
She'll curse out my dad for leaving her astray
And she'll call my four uncles to take the pain away

It's too hard to move when she's on the weak
But I don't want to hear your judgmental speak
I work half the day on minimum wage
'Cause your father won't pay to see you come of age
I'm on a seat and I'm on my feet
Just to make sure that you have food to eat
Working telephone lines and waitress 9 to 5
Just so on the weekends I can come alive

She loves it when the guys buy them on the rocks
But she hates it when they wanna stick around and talk
'Cause they say they wanna last and go in a flash
And then she'll get in a clash with my dad about some cash

She wasn't thinking that much
She was just drinking too much
She wouldn't tell me at all
She didn't give me a call that

She wasn't coming home tonight
She was out there to crawl the pubs 'til light
She'll curse out my dad for leaving her astray
And she'll call my four uncles to take the pain away
