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 hell
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 pretty
Little secret was eating everybody alive
Well daddy's reading propaganda
And he's talking about the end of days
Well cheers to the vodka mama's been sneaking
Let's all gather around 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
Hell 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

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
