She had a bad childhood when she was very young, so don't judge her too badly
She had a schizophrenic mother who worked in the gutter
And would have sold herself to the devil gladly
Oh, what a sad environment, a bug-ridden tenement
And when they couldn't pay the rent, it's cause her father was out getting liquored
Oh, the stone's been cast and blood's thicker than water
And the sins of a family fall on the daughter
Yeah, the sins of a family fall on the daughter
At the age of sixteen, she had been around more than any girl over thirty
And the high accused who condemned her knew she's a product of poor heredity
It's a fictitious fact when you fall on your back
You can backtrack failure with inspection without exception
Oh, the sins of a family fall on the daughter
Yeah, the sins of a family fall on the daughter
Oh, the devil is open to all of us, heaven selects a precious few
And it takes some inside pull to get Gabriel to make an angel of you
One can't live a lie, then expect to die
With a soul in paradise, you know you gotta pay the price like you oughta
Oh, blood's thicker than water
And the sins of a family fall on the daughter
Yeah, the sins of a family fall on the daughter
Yeah, the sins of a family fall on the daughter
