The Family Next Door – Blink-182

[Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus]

Oh how your mom is so inbred

She’s so inbred

Last night I caught your mother

With your brother in her bed

With her brother in bed

Five arms ten legs and four toes

The bitch has got four toes

When you fuck your family I guess

That’s just the way it goes

When you fuck your family I guess that’s

That’s just the way it goes

When you fuck your family I guess that’s

That’s just the way it goes

But don’t worry

Your mom is not the only one

She’s not the only one

‘Cause last night

I caught your dad taking your

Brother’s temperature with his thumb

When I go to your house

I can’t kneel or squat

Don’t kneel or squat

Before you know it your dad will tie

My dick in a knot… with his tongue

When you fuck your family I guess that’s

That’s just the way it goes

When you fuck your family I guess that’s

That’s just the way it goes
