I don't care for my old man
He don't care for me
I don't care for none of his friends
And none of them likes me
We don't care for each other much
That's why we're family
O, I don't care for my old man
And he don't care for me
I don't talk to sister june
She don't talk to me
I don't talk to her husband neither
And neither does he to me
We ain't been on talking terms
Since nineteen sixty three
No, I don't talk to sister june
And she don't talk to me
I don't mess with my kid brother
He don't mess with me
I picked on him 'til he got big
And started pickin' on me
Now we pick on others
And leave each other be
I don't mess with my kid brother
And he don't mess with me
I don't answer mama back
She don't answer me
She don't hear and I don't listen
To whatever she's telling me
She's stone deaf and i'm so stubborn
We get on famously
I don't answer mama back
And she don't answer me
I don't pray to jesus christ
So don't you pray for me
I don't go to church on sunday
'cause he don't visit me
He been dead two thousand years
And i'm still kickin' see
So I don't pray to jesus christ
And don't you pray for me
