My brother got out of rehab
Right around Christmas time
Mama made a turkey
Daddy was worried
he was gonna have
to break up a fight
Everybody was
walking on eggshells
Drinking eggnog
instead of beer
We were holding our tongues
scratching our heads
Wondering how
the **** we got here
Hush hush
Don't you dare say a word
Hush hush
Don't you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
When push comes
to shove it's best to
keep it hush hush
We were sitting around
the dinner table
And we were eating
our pumpkin pie
While the sugar-coated
dirty little secret
was eating everybody alive
Well daddy's reading
propaganda
And he's talking
'bout the end of days
Well cheers to the vodka
mama's been sneaking
Let's all gather
'round and pray
Hush hush
Don't you dare say a word
Hush hush
Don't you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
When push comes
to shove it's best to
keep it hush hush
So I snuck out behind
the red barn
And I took myself a toke
Since everybody here
hates everybody here
**** I might as well
be the joke
I'm gonna dance up
on the table
Singing this little light of mine
God gave it to me
What good's it gonna do me
If I don't by God
Let it shine
Hush hush
Don't you dare say a word
Hush hush
Don't you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
When push comes
to shove it's best to
keep it hush hush
Hide your tattoo
Put on your Sunday best
Pretend you're not a mess
Be the happy family
in the front pew
Hush hush
Don't you dare say a word
Hush hush
Don't you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
When push comes
to shove it's best to
keep it hush hush
Don't you dare say a word
Hush hush
Don't you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
When push comes
to shove it's best to
keep it hush hush
What are the neighbors
going to think
You better shut that mouth
Hush it be quite
Best to keep it hush hush
