Cover art for The Plot lyrics by White Rabbits

Sounds like a home abuse situation with various viewpoints. It goes from the kid "He gets up late He gets upset/And I watch the whole thing happen from the foot of the bed" onto the viewpoint of the abuser "But I work hard, so we can have nice things/You're not even dressed/The house is such a mess"

Sad. But a great song. Just heard it on Letterman for the 1st time.
