lyrics

Don’t get caught in the family lie
I know you think your brothers and your sisters were right
But your mother and your father told you you would be fine
I know you better than that

Confirming your suspicions
Something to be hidden under surface cover
In truth a misdirection
Just for their protection
Look this way then look another
Don’t even bother
Hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry

Don’t get caught in the family lie
I know you think your brothers and your sisters were right
But your mother and your father told you you would be fine
I know you better than that

We know it’s a temptation to step out of your place
And take this to the people
And truth is they may believe you
So make them all believers
Greatest of deceivers
A sympathetic face and likely story
Get your glory
Hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry

Don’t get caught in the family lie
I know you think your brothers and your sisters were right
But your mother and your father told you you would be fine
I know you better than that
