Father comes home 'cause his money's run out
Seems a little loose tonight, he starts to shout
Dinner's not on the table, seems Mother's not able
She's staring at the TV
You can smell it on his breath
Feel it in his touch
He never meant to hit her hard
But he's like that when he's had too much
It's just another story 'bout going too far
It's just another story 'bout going too far
Well, the kid's at school, she's getting good grades
But the peer pressure's starting now, too bad, she had it made
Seems there's always someone trying to push you to do something
You know, ain't the way they told you to, it's hard to see
The things you taught her, how to be
It's like you told her nothing, selective memory
Come on just try it, it's only a smoke, ain't gonna kill you
So she takes a toke, fade to grey
It's just another story 'bout going too far
It's just another story 'bout going too far
Well, the guys at work seemed okay
They'd buy you a drink, get you laid, what's wrong with that?
Why'd they have more money than you?
Expensive cars and expensive clothes?
Do you ever think of what they do?
At night they're out, shaking people down
When they're walking together seems they own the town
But, hey, who's gonna talk? You are their alibi
Don't turn around, don't ask questions, just walk
It's just another story 'bout going too far
It's just another story 'bout going too far
It's just another story 'bout going too far
It's just another story 'bout going too far
