Family

(album: The Interrupters - 2014)

I've got a mother named Mary
I've got a brother named Barry
And my uncle's name is Harry
And he's in the military
Well, my grandmother's name is Sherry
And she's in the cemetery

This is my family
My one crazy family
The ones who understand me
This is my family
Whatever the plan be
They stand beside me
This is my family

I've got a sister named Carroll
She wears my old apparel
She traded in her bow and arrow
For a loaded double barrel
She got locked up like a sparrow
And now she's on the straight and narrow

This is my family
My one crazy family
The ones who understand me
This is my family
Whatever the plan be
They stand beside me
This is my family

"Police, open up!"

Now the police come a knocking
Our doors we'll be locking
The band is still rocking
Don't let them cops in
We won't be stopping
The music we're dropping
Singing our songs for the ones who are gone
But not forgotten

This is my family
My one crazy family
The ones who understand me
This is my family
Whatever the plan be
They stand beside me
This is my family

This is my family
My one crazy family
The ones who understand me
This is my family
Whatever the plan be
They stand beside me
This is my family
