Family Values

I've tried to put the past behind me
I've let sleeping dogs lie
I say what's done is done
I'll ignore, turn my head and try once again

I don't wanna hear about
Your fucked up views on family
Every night kids cry to sleep
You hold the answers to make peace
You love that power it's what you need
Love's locked up thrown away the key
Only after you are gone
Will they ever be set free

Stay out of my life, Don't you come near
You're a loud mouth hag, Don't bend my ear
Your life's empty and going nowhere
If you fuck up mine, that's your cross to bear

I'll act like it never happened
Pretend like it doesn't exist
I won't let it get to me this time around
Just grin and bear it as I clinch my fist

You stand for nothing but your gain
You must enjoy the tears and the pain
You ignore, You lie, You're a goddamned fake
All that's left is your life to take
Human beings are your toys
Grind your heels into their joys
Tell them you're their only friend
Then shove them under that bus again

Stay out of my life, Don't you come near
You're a loud mouth hag, Don't bend my ear
Your life's empty and going nowhere
If you fuck up mine, that's your cross to bear

I'll say this just once more
Stay away, don't bother me anymore
Get out and go on with your own
Just leave me alone
Alone alone alone alone
