The Family

from Little Lives by Suitcase Runaway

lyrics

Some kids grow up in filthy city alleys
while others grow up in a house.
Some kids go to school while others play hookey
either way life’ll chew ya up and spit you out

Well it doesn’t matter where the hell you came from, sister
it’s the same set of emotions inside everyone

Some kids have a sweet mother, but a drunkard of a daddy
Some kids have it the other way around
Some kids gotta live with an uncle or auntie
or worse in some lonely foster home

Well it doesn’t matter where the hell you came from, brother
everybody must fight for their chance in the sun

We’ve created some kind of messed up civil war
Stop fighting kids, you’ve gotta stick together now
and show the world that nothing can bring you down
Breaking all the front lines, deserted battlefields galore
Stop fighting this silly game of he said she said
You gotta be brave enough to pick up the pieces
Oh woah oh oh oh, woah oh oh oh…

Some kids lose their hearts and become bitter it’s quite saddening
They curl up in a ball and feel like death
Then there’s the kids who try to make everyone happy
But they too are struggling like the rest

So sing along to this battle cry whenever you feel low
or lonely or mad or messed up in the head
‘Cause this misery that we all share we can laugh about tomorrow
No more poison hearts for us good times instead

Well it doesn’t matter where the hell you came from…
