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 holdin' our tongues
Scratchin' our heads
Wonderin' 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 sneakin'
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 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

Best to keep it hush, hush
