Runs In the Family

1, 2, 3, 4
 My friend has problems with winter and autumn
 They give him prescriptions, they shine bright lights on him
 They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it
 They say you can catch it, but sometimes you're born with it
 My friend has spite, he gets shakes in the night
 And they say that there's no way that they could have
 Caught it in time takes his toll on him
 It is traditional, it is inherited, predispositional
 All day I've been wondering what is inside of me
 Who can I blame for it? I say it runs in the family
 This family that carries me to such great lengths
 To open my legs up to anyone who'll have me
 It runs in the family, I come by it honestly
 Do what you want 'cause who knows it might fill me up

 My friend's depressed, she's a wreck, she's a mess
 They've done all sorts of tests and they guess
 It has something to do with her grandmother's
 Grandfather's grandmother saving civil war soldiers
 Who probably infected her
 My friend has maladies, rickets, and allergies
 That she dates back to the 17th century
 Somehow she manages in her misery
 Strips in the city and shows all her best tricks
 With me, well, I'm well, well I mean I'm in Hell, well
 I still have my health, at least that's what they tell me
 If wellness is this, what in Hell's name is sickness?
 But business is business and business runs in the family
 We tend to bruise easily, mad in the blood
 I'm telling you 'cause I just want you to know me
 Know me and my family, we're wonderful folks
 But don't get to close to me 'cause you might knock me up
 me up
 me up

 knock me up

 Mary, have mercy, now look what I've done
 But don't blame me because I can't help where I come from
 And running is something that we've always done well
 And mostly I can't even tell what I'm running from
 Run from their pity, from responsibility
 Run from the country and run from the city
 I can run from the law, I can run from myself
 I can run from my life, I can run into debt
 I can run from it all, I can run 'til I'm gone
 I can run for the office and run for my cause
 I can run using every last ounce of energy
 I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my family
 They're hiding inside of me, corpses on ice
 Come in if you like but just don't tell my family
 They'd never forgive me, they'd say that I'm crazy
 But they would say anything if it would shut me up
