Barry McGuire - The Sins Of A Family Lyrics
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
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
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 oughta
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
