Good Tradition

There's a good tradition of love and hate
 Staying by the fireside
 There's a good tradition of love and hate
 Staying by the fireside
 Though the rain may fall, your father's calling you
 You still feel safe inside
 And though your ma's too proud, your brother's ignoring you
 You still feel safe inside
 Oh, was this solo?
 Was this yesterday?
 Was this true for you?
 'Cause while all the rest have taken time
 This didn't do a lot for you
 ♪
 And the corner's laced with memories
 Tell you how it used to be
 Your mother smiles, the children play
 And all the bad things happen miles away
 And strong feelings never bother you
 You hold your head up while the rest of us try to
 Oh, call the stations
 Call the people
 We all want to know
 'Cause while all the rest have taken time
 You don't wanna know
