Happy Family Lyrics

Left and right, they're calling me back home
And I've heard their cries
I've felt it in my bonesLeft and right, they choke me tight
I'm overworn and out of sight
I've heard their cries
I've felt it in my bonesBeen searching for a long time, in this town
We're looking for a goldmine
So we can get out
To find a place, or waste awayAnother day that goes by
Another card, we know we should be grateful
But sometimes it's hard, we're so alone
But it's not for longWell maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts forever
Time will always take its tollAnd if a broken home is on the shelf
You know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family roleBeen dreaming of those bright lights, in the city
Waking with a cold fright

Oh what a pity, a bad nights sleep
The fourth this weekYou're longing for a partner
To get you through, wishing that in time
You'll find someone to hold onto toBut maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts for ever
Time will always take its tollAnd if a broken home is on the shelf
You know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family roleHeavens have you seen
The news that's on the screen
It's all violence, heartbreak and miseryHeavens have you seen
What they have done to me
I'm a hollow shell from the grim 90'sMaybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts forever, time will always take its tollAnd if a broken home is on the shelf
We know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family role?
