Family Portraits

from High Jinks by High Jinks

/

lyrics

you'd never guess behind
those dresses and ties
stood alcoholics and
battered wives
how did our parents
live through this?

no matter the sheets of
moral fabric we're force fed
we thrive off the same
things that we ignore

we thrive of the same things
that we ignore happening, we're doomed
we're doomed to stand like our
fathers and smile for the camera

"those who don't learn from
history are doped to repeat it"
so what the fuck was the point of
reading about elbow-greased struggles
under prairie skies, the good ol'
days, or the changing times?
