The Sins Of A Family - Barry McGuire

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

What a sad environment

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

At the age of 16 she had been around more

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 oughtta

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
