Family Business (Live Version)

歌詞

I heard a battle ragin On the other side of the wall I buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all Every night when I hear you I dream of breakin down your door An avengin knight in shinin armor to rescue you from it all From this family business Family business How long does it stay Family business Oh, it's nobody's business This family business But tell me how long it should stay Family business When I see you in the supermarket Sunglasses in the shade Avertin your eyes from those starin questions How were those bruises made The children clutch tight to your legs They've got so much they want to say But daddy's sittin home drunk again So they bite their lips and pray Cause daddy don't like people pryin Pokin in his family affairs And if anyone ask from the social well You fell down the stairs It's family business Keep it in the family business Can you tell me how long it remains Family business Oh, it's nobody's business This family business Can you tell me how long it should stay Family business She's waitin at the bus stop At the bottom of the hill She knows she'll never catch it She knows she never will The kids are all she lives for She's got nothin left to lose Nowhere to escape to But she knows she's got to move Cause when daddy tucks the kids in its takin longer every night And the heaven that she's waitin for Through the hell it lasts all night It's family business Keep it in the family business Can you tell me how long it remains Family business Oh, it's nobody's business Oh, this family business Can you tell me how long it should stay Family business So I become an accessory And I don't have an alibi To the victim on my doorstep The only way I can justify It's family business Family business How long do we keep it Family business
