Family Tree

This morning I found a bird in my family tree
It was singing aloud sayin' you’re not what you should be
Take a look at yourself and tell me what you find
You’re a silent voice enclosed in a shallow mind
CHa
Family come together, say whatever, and you’re never understood
Family come together, do whatever, but they never say you’re good
(Give it up)
What should I do with this bird in my family tree
What could I say to the voice of my own misery
Is there a way to see what I’m really like
Or am I just a fool on the hill with a mountainbike?
CHb
Family come together, say whatever, and you’re never understood
Family come together, make it better, but they never do you good
(Give it up)
Bridge
Down the drain/Lookin' for love/Waiting for a new messiah
Everybody thinks they oughta own their own share of desires
Kill the pain/Try to look tough/Try to keep the sacred fire
If everybody said: «I'm unique !! «- we would all be liars !
This morning I found a bird in my own backyard
It was singin' aloud sayin': «you are what you are…
You are your father’s son and there’s nothin' you can do
To wipe this inheritance from your attitude… "
CHa
CHb
There’s nothin' you can do — to cut this tree in two…
(Give it up)
