Name: Stupid Little Houses
Duration: P00H01M50S
Description: Stupid Little Houses was written in a single afternoon, inspired by a Facebook ad for a Calico Critters playset. Do Calico Critters ever get divorced?

Stupid Little Houses was written in a single afternoon, inspired by a Facebook ad for a Calico Critters playset. Do Calico Critters ever get divorced? Do they ever wish they'd gone to art school or hate their van?? It was one of the first songs Talented Asian Girlfriend played live and one we continue to play because it's just so fun.

lyrics

Stupid little houses with
Stupid little people inside of them
Stupid little mommies and daddies with their
Stupid little marriage and children

Did you meet when you were twelve
Have you never wanted to be anything else
Has it all gone to plan and you're on track for dying
Hand in hand

Stupid little backyard with your
Stupid little chicken coop
Stupid little compost bin
That you actually have the nerve to use

Did you grow up like they told us to in school and does your
Six figure salary pay for the McMansion with a pool

Stupid little omelette
Stupid little fork and knife
Stupid little stroller with your
Stupid little slice of life

Watching you up in the curio
From the messy corner of my studio
Watching you live your stupid little lives
Inside my stupid little dollhouse

Do you ever wonder why
You always feel so empty inside
Like you wish you had their
Stupid little lives
