White Picket Fences

[Verse 1]
The band director cheated on his wife
With the first chair clarinet
So her boyfriend blacked his eye
Missed the district turn and went
And I heard at the nail salon
Preacher Paul likes to wear a dress
And half the soccer moms
Are hooked on Percocet
Or speed
Or weed

[Chorus]
But it's all white picket fences
It's all pink and purple pansies
It's the face of small town grace
The perfect place to raise a family
We're all scandal
We're all scripture
We're all smiling for the picture
It's alright
'Cause it's all white picket fences

[Verse 2]
That city's full of sin
Pollution and pedophiles
Hookers, thugs, and heroin
Thank God, it's sixty miles from here
And we're

[Chorus]
All white picket fences
It's all pink and purple pansies
It's the face of small town grace
The perfect place to raise a family
We're all scandal
We're all scripture
We're all smiling for the picture
It's alright
'Cause it's all white picket fences

[Bridge]
And we paint 'em twice a year
So the dirt will disappear
You won't catch us starting gossip
Oh, but we won't try to stop it

[Chorus]
'Cause it's all white picket fences
It's all pink and purple pansies
Population is never changing
The only place I'd raise a family
We're all waves
And we're all whispers
We're all posing for the picture
Yeah, it's alright
'Cause it's all white picket fences
Oh, it's alright
'Cause it's all white picket fences
