the sins of a family - oysterband lyrics

[verse 1]
she had a bad childhood while she was young
so don’t judge her too badly
she had a schizophrenic mother whose worked in the gutter
woulda sold herself to the devil gladly

[chorus]
what a sad environment, a bug*ridden tenement
the neighbours looked on sadly
and the stone’s been cast and blood is thicker than water
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter

[verse 2]
at the age of sixteen she had been around
more than any girl over thirty
and all the high iqs who condemned her knew
she was the product of poor heredity

[chorus]
it’s a fictitious fact when you fall on your back
you can backtrack failure without exception
and the stone’s been cast and blood is thicker than water
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
[verse 3]
oh the devil is open to all of us
and he selects just a precious few
and it takes some inside pull
to get gabriel to make an angel out of you

[chorus]
you can’t live a lot and expect paradise
you gotta pay the price like you oughta
the stone’s been cast and blood is thicker than water
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
