Runs In the Family

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

My friend has problems with winter and autumn

They give him prescriptions, they shine bright lights on him

They say its genetic, they say he cant help it

They say you can catch it but sometimes youre born with itMy friend has blight, he gets shakes in the night

And they say there is no way that they could have caught it in

Time takes its toll on him, it is traditional

It is inherited predispositionalAll day Ive been wondering what is inside of me

Who can I blame for it, I sayIt runs in the family, this famine that carries me

To such great lengths to open my legs up to anyone wholl have me

It runs in the family, I come by it honestly

Do what you want cause who knows it might fill me upMe up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up

Fill me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me upMy friends depressed, shes a wreck, shes a mess

Theyve done all sorts of tests

And they guess it has something to do

With her grandmothers grandfathers grandmother

Civil war soldiers who badly infected herMy friend has maladies, rickets, and allergies

That she dates back to the seventeenth century

Somehow she manages in her misery

Strips in the city and shares all her best tricks withI mean well, I'm well, well, Im mean I'm in hell

Well, I still have my health, at least thats what they tell me

If wellness is this what in hells name is sickness?

But business is business and business runs in the familyWe tend to bruise easily, bad in the blood

Im telling you cause I just want you to know me

Know me and my family, were wonderful folks but

Dont get too close to me cause you might knock me upMe up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up

Knock me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me upMary, have mercy, now look what Ive done

But dont blame me because I cant tell where I come from

And running is something that weve always done well

And mostly I cant even tell what Im running fromRun from their pity, from responsibility

Run from the country and run from the city

I can run from the law, I can run from myself

I can run for my life, I can run into debtI can run from it all, I can run till Im gone

I can run for the office and run from the cause

I can run using every last ounce of energy

I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my familyTheyre hiding inside of me, corpses on ice

Come in if youd like but just dont tell my family

Theyd never forgive me, theyll say that Im crazy

But they would say anything if it would shut me up, shut me upShut me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up

Shut me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up
