Society often approves it though. All she has to do is talk about how she felt trapped in a mundane existence, and she is lauded as a free spirit who broke free to live her best life.
There's a young Mother with three children
Got a stable income and a faithful husband, too
She's searchin' for her life's meanin'
So she says to her shrink, "I'm leavin' home soon!"
Just decided that she couldn't take it anymore
Didn't look back, she just snuck out the back door-
What is wrong with this picture?
We applaud this behavior
Admire how she breaks away
Oh, it's so clearly cloudy, in the land of the grey
