My kid is better than yours We live perfect lives on our spotless floors with our noses so high they touch the vaulted ceilings in our perfect house on a perfect street We are the Jones's except I cry myself to sleep My husband and I don't even speak unless it's about our perfect darlings who can do no wrong We are a nuclear family I'm just waiting for the bomb Johnny's a bully and Mary's a brat But no one will notice anything but our greenbacks I lost myself so long ago I stopped keeping track It's a beautiful life And I'm the perfect wife

The Perfect Wife
My kid is better than yours We live perfect lives on our spotless floors with our noses so high they touch the vaulted ceilings in our perfect house on a perfect street We are the Jones's except I cry myself to sleep My husband and I don't even speak unless it's about our perfect darlings who can do no wrong We are a nuclear family I'm just waiting for the bomb Johnny's a bully and Mary's a brat But no one will notice anything but our greenbacks I lost myself so long ago I stopped keeping track It's a beautiful life And I'm the perfect wife
