When you were a kid you received no good instruction   And your mother was never nowhere to be found   The lies were yelled and truth was seldom spoken      That's what you get when Margaret comes to town   She likes to keep things upside down   When Margaret comes to town      When your thoughts are twisted and distorted   And your children are forced to choose sides and lie down   And the keeper is screaming drunk running around naked      It's for your pleasure when Margaret comes to town   She likes to keep things upside down   When Margaret comes to town      Oh, but those who believe in her   They cut off their noses to spite their faces   Leaving you the little one scared and lonely   Who really cares about you now      So if you see her coming, man, you'd better take cover   She stays down at the dark end of a frown   And just like the sirens that are so sweetly singing      It's better just to leave when Margaret comes to town   When Margaret comes to town   She likes to keep things upside down      When Margaret comes to town   She likes to keep things upside down   When Margaret comes to town
