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 '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
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
