The Breadwinner Songtext / Lyric

THE BREADWINNER

They've been away most of the day
You've been at home pretending
To be happy, oh no
Trying to smile, dying to see
Try to be everyone
They want you to be, oh no

The breadwinner of the family tonight
Is a man in possession
Of incredible insight
The breadwinner of the family
Is asleep tonight

Course he's right, he's always right
Switch off your mind
Hang it on the washing line all night
You're never alone say you're never here
It's alright on the line

The breadwinner of the family tonight
Is a man in possession
An objectionable liar
he breadwinner of the family
Is a man tonight

Who's gonna play video games
Who's gonna end up falling
In the family way, oh no
Staying at home, playing away
Who's gonna meet the real man
>From the motor trade one day

The breadwinner of the family tonight
One gets the house
And the other gets the night
The breadwinner of the family tonight
Is a man in possession of obsession
Isn't home tonight

The breadwinner is at home
The breadwinner is at home tonight
The breadwinner sleeps tonight
