The Sins Of A Family Lyrics By P F Sloan

    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
