Lyrics Runs in the Family - The Roches

Runs in the Family

I can’t get over what I saw.
And I can’t change the law of averages.
I’m going down.
My uncle did it;
my daddy did it.
I’m beginning to think that it runs in the family
Oh no, runs in the family.
One by one we left home.
We went so far out there.
Everybody got scared.
My uncle did it;
my daddy did it.
I’m beginning to think that it runs in the family
Oh no, runs in the family.
All the boys could have gone to school.
All the girls were pretty enough to play the fool
Something about the danger zone
Wouldn’t leave the bunch of us alone.
I remember that night.
It was the one I picked a fight with you.
I’m holding the bag
Just like my mama did;
Just like her mama did.
Now there’s gonna be a new kid in the family
Oh no, kid you’re gonna run in the family.
Oh yeah, kid you’re gonna run in the family.
