The Sins Of A Family |
| She had a bad childhood when she was very young |
| So don’t judge her too badly |
| She had a schizophrenic mother who worked in the gutter |
| And would have sold herself to the devil, gladly |
| What a sad environment |
| A bug ridden tenement |
| And when they couldn’t pay the rent |
| It was 'cause her father was out |
| Getting liquored |
| Oh, the stone’s been cast |
| And blood’s thicker than water |
| And the sins of the family fall on the daughter |
| Yeah the sins of the family fall on the daughter |
| At the age of 16 she had been around more |
| Than any girl over 30 |
| And the high I. Q's who condemned her |
| Knew she’s a product of poor heredity |
| It’s a fictitious fact when you fall on your back |
| You can backtrack failure with inspection, without exemption |
| All the sins of the family fall on the daughter |
| Yeah the sins of the family fall on the daughter |
| Oh, the devil is open to all of us |
| Heaven selects a precious few |
| And it takes some inside pull to get Gabriel |
| To make an angel of you |
| One can’t live a lie then expect to die |
| With a soul in paradise |
| You know you gotta pay the price |
| Like you oughtta |
| Blood’s thicker than water |
| And the sins of the family fall on the daughter |
| Yeah the sins of the family fall on the daughter |
