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 bugridden 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
and the sins of the family fall on the daughter
all the sins of the family fall on the daughter
at the age of 6 she had been around
more than any girl over 0
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
all the sins of the family fall on the daughter
all the sins of the family fall on the daughter
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
and the sins of the family fall on the daughter
all the sins of the family fall on the daughter
