Lyrics
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

HAHAHA OH MY GOD. I was joking last night that someone might mash these two requests up. I love it! Poor Dick.

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

I'd been rooting around for crossover ideas since I saw the juxtaposition in your letter- this idea just beat out trying to do a crossover vid to "Cat's in the Cradle".

And all that brilliantly-colored camp being a violent rebellion against all that gritty grimness...? Oh, that just makes it.

Aww, vidder, you know the bat family will never get out early or stop having dysfunctional new members! :D :D

[seekingferret]

Thanks! (Haha, early versions of the vid tried to land the punchline on an image of Batgirl to suggest that Batfamily will continue to grow, but it didn't quite work)

[echan]

PERFECT combo, so effective

[seekingferret]

Thanks!
