Merry Go 'Round (The Voice Performance)

If you ain't got two kids by twenty-one You're probably gonna die alone At least that's what tradition told you And it don't matter if you don't believe Come Sunday mornin', you'd best be there In the front row like you're s'posed to Same hurt in every heart hmmm... Same trailer, different park So Mama's hooked on Mary Kay Brother's hooked on Mary Jane And Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down Mary, Mary quite contrary We get bored, so we get married Just like dust, we settle in this town On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go Where it stops, nobody knows And it ain't slowin' down This merry go 'round We think the first time's good enough So we hold on to high school love Sayin' we won't end up like our parents Tiny little boxes in a row Ain't what you want, it's what you know Just happy in the shoes you're wearin' Same cheques we're always cashin' To buy a little more distraction Mama's hooked on Mary Kay Brother's hooked on Mary Jane And Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down Mary, Mary, quite contrary We get bored, so we get married Just like dust, we settle in this town On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go 'Cause where it stops nobody knows And it ain't slowin' down This merry go 'round This merry go 'round Jack and Jill went up a hill Jack burned out on booze and pills Mary had a little lamb Mary just don't give a damn no more
