Hush Hush

My brother got out of rehab

Right around Christmas time

Mama made a turkey, Daddy was worried

He was gonna have to break up a fight

Everybody was walkin' on eggshells

Drinkin' eggnog instead of beer

We were holdin' our tongues, scratchin' our heads

Wonderin' how the hell we got here

Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word

Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts?

Hush, hush, when push comes to shove

It's best to keep it hush, hush

We were sittin' 'round the dinner table

And we were eatin' our pumpkin pie

While the sugar-coated purty little secret

Was eatin' everybody alive

Well, Daddy's readin' propaganda

And he's talkin' 'bout the end of days

Well, cheers to the vodka Mama's been sneakin'

Let's all gather 'round and pray

Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word

Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts?

Hush, hush, when push comes to shove

It's best to keep it hush, hush

So I snuck out behind the red barn

And I took myself a toke

Since everybody here hates everybody here

Hell, I might as well be the joke

I'm gonna dance up on the table

Singin' "This Little Light of Mine"

God gave it to me, what good's it gonna do me

If I don't, by God, let it shine?

Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word

Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts?

Hush, hush, when push comes to shove

It's best to keep it hush, hush

Hide your tattoo

Put on your Sunday best, pretend you're not a mess

Be the happy family in the front pew

Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word

Hush, hush, boy, you know the truth hurts

Hush, hush, when push comes to shove

It's best to keep it hush, hush

Don't you dare say a word

Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts?

Hush, hush, when push comes to shove

It's best to keep it hush, hush

What are the neighbors gonna think?

Better shut that mouth

Hush it, be quiet

Best to keep it hush, hush
