Familiar, why is this so familiar? Familiar, like something I use to know Familiar, staring up at the ceiling Familiar, I swear that I know this feeling
Where everybody wants me to be mom And everything I do, I do it wrong I sway them with a joke, or with a song And maybe that’ll help us get along
Familiar, why is this so familiar? Familiar, like something I use to do Familiar, she used to throw a tantrum Insisting that, “Hey, I’m a diamond too.”
I bet she drove them crazy all the time They love her but they’re leaving her behind With more important places they should be Then hanging out with someone just like me
Familiar, that’s why it’s so familiar Familiar, like someone I used to be Familiar, but this time I’ve had some practice At helping a struggling family
Oh, I’ll get them all together in one place And once we’re all together, face to face I’ll show them all the error of their ways And stop their spread of terror across space
