The Sins of a Family

[Verse 1]
She had a bad childhood while she was very young
So don't judge her too badly
She had a schizophrenic mother who worked in the gutter
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 gettin' sicker
Ah, the stone's been cast, and blood's thicker than water

[Chorus]
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
All the sins of the family fall on the daughter

[Verse 2]
At the age of 16 she had been around
More than any girl over 30
And the high IQ's who condemned her knew
She was a product of poor heredity, yeah
It's a fictitious fact
When you fall on your back
You can backtrack failure with inspection
Without exception

[Chorus]
All the sins of the family fall on the daughter
All the sins of the family fall on the daughter

[Verse 3]
Oh, the devil is open to all of us
Heaven selects just a precious few
And it takes some inside pull to get
Gabriel make an angel out 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 ought
Blood's thicker than water

[Chorus]
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
All the sins of the family fall on the daughter
