Family Business - Fish

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
