Lou Reed - Families Lyrics
(hows the family)(hows the family)Mama, you tell me hows the familyAnd papa, tell me how things going by youAnd little baby sister, I heard that you got marriedAnd I heard that you had yourself a little baby girl, tooAnd heres some uncles and some cousins I know vaguelyAnd would you believe my old dog chelseas here, tooAnd would you believe nobody in this familyWanted to keep herAnd now that dogs more of a part of this familyThen I am, tooI dont come home much anymoreNo-no-no I dont come home much anymoreMamaAnd mama, I know how disappointed you areAnd papa, I know that you feel the same way, tooAnd no-no-no-no-no I still havent got marriedAnd no-no-no theres no grandson planned here for youAnd by the way, daddy tell me hows the businessI understand that your stock shes growing very highNo, daddy, youre not a poor man anymoreAnd I hope youll realize that before you dieBecause I dont come home much anymoreNo-no-no-no-no I dont come home much no moreBut daddyAnd please-please-please-please-pleaseCome on lets not start this business againI know how much you resent the life that I haveBut one more time, I dont want the family businessDont want to inherit it upon the day that you dieReally, daddy should have given it to my sisterYou know elisabeth, you know elisabethShe has a better head for those things than iShe lives practically around the cornerThats really the kind of child you could be proud ofBut papa, I know that this visits a mistakeTheres nothing here we have in common, except our nameAnd families that live out in the suburbsOften make each other cryAnd I dont think that Ill come home much anymoreNo-no, I dont think Ill come home much againMamaPapaFamiliesOften make each other cryNo, I dont think that Ill come home much anymore(hows the families)
