If you ain't got two kids by twenty-one
You're probably gonna die alone
Least that's what tradition told you
And it don't matter if you don't believe
Come Sunday morning, you best be there
In the front row like you're supposed to

Same hurt in every heart
Same trailer, different park

Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
And daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
“Mary, Mary Quite Contrary”
We get bored so we get married
And just like dust we settle in this town
On this broken merry go ‘round, and ‘round, and ‘round we go
Where it stops nobody knows
And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round

We think the first time's good enough
So, we hold onto high school love
Say, we won't end up like our parents
Tiny little boxes in a row
Ain't what you want it's what you know
Just happy in the shoes you're wearing

Same checks we're always cashin'
To buy a little more distraction

Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
And daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
“Mary, Mary Quite Contrary”
We get bored so we get married
And just like dust we settle in this town
On this broken merry go ‘round, and ‘round, and ‘round we go
Where it stops nobody knows
And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round

“Mary, Mary Quite Contrary”
We're so bored until we're buried
And just like dust we settle in this town
On this broken merry go ‘round
Merry go 'round
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Jack burned out on booze and pills
And Mary had a little lamb, but
Mary just don't give a damn no more
