The Blank Husband Epidemic Lyrics

My Auntie Eleanor had a very unhappy husband
Who hated his job and hated his life
So he wanted to drive his tan Chevy off of a bridge
Because he hated his car and he hated his life

He couldn’t silence the ever present thought
"I’m doing all I can, yet I’m an unsuccessful man”
And his heart was blank
Don’t we know what blank people are good for?
What they are good for?

My Auntie Eleanor had a very unhappy husband
Who just couldn’t escape or catch a break
So he wanted to ride his bike blindfolded into traffic
Because he hated his bike and he hated his life

His heart was consumed with guilt
From the knowledge he had not become a successful man
He was an unsuccessful man and his heart was blank
Don’t we know what blank people are good for?
What they are good for?

Until one day my Auntie introduced him
To her friend named Gwendoline
And she must have made a stunning first impression
Because he left my Auntie and never came back again
Leaving with Gwendoline, but my Auntie didn’t care
She knew she could find another blank husband anywhere
By God, they’re everywhere

My Auntie Eleanor had a very unhappy husband
