Swamp Dogg - Family Pain lyrics
[Swamp Dogg - Family Pain lyrics]
There's no food on the table
All the furniture is sold
They've given away their pride
now they tryin' to sell their souls
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Little sister is lost, smoked out her mind
Mama can't advise her
She has to throw down herself sometimes
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Daddy's scratchin' his head 'cause
He can't understand
How ten dollars and a tube of glass
Can tear down a damn good man
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Let me hear the thang
They live in a make-believe world
All their hopes in a shiny pack
All they want to do is stay high
What kind of life is that?
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Now that ain't no life
That ain't goin' nowhere
I mean, everybody's caught up except daddy
And won't be long before he'll
Be called out to God he wants to keep on
But that's the way it always happens
The bad one always drag in
The good ones before the
Good one manages to get the bad ones together
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
All the furniture is sold
They've given away their pride
now they tryin' to sell their souls
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Little sister is lost, smoked out her mind
Mama can't advise her
She has to throw down herself sometimes
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Daddy's scratchin' his head 'cause
He can't understand
How ten dollars and a tube of glass
Can tear down a damn good man
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Let me hear the thang
They live in a make-believe world
All their hopes in a shiny pack
All they want to do is stay high
What kind of life is that?
Family pain, family pain, family pain
Family pain all goin' out together smokin'
Crack and dealin' cocaine
Now that ain't no life
That ain't goin' nowhere
I mean, everybody's caught up except daddy
And won't be long before he'll
Be called out to God he wants to keep on
But that's the way it always happens
The bad one always drag in
The good ones before the
Good one manages to get the bad ones together
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
