lyrics

Just keep it in the family, my mother always said.
You were born with the remedy, if only in your head.
Go help your sister, she's crying, she's better being fed
Than wrapped around a fist until she's inches from dead
She's only four years old and she cannot understand
Why her father gets frustrated and things get out of hand.

Just keep it in the family, our problems are our own
And we don't need no one else messing with our home.
Someday you'll grow up you will see, when you're older you will know
The direction that you're facing is not the way you wanna go.
Remember how you feel and what you wanna change
And maybe in the future it won't be quite the same.

So keep it quiet and you know it won't be far away
When we can look back and we'll say
After everything we've been through today
We're still a happy famliy
You know it won't far away
When we can look back and we'll say
After everything we've been through today
We're still a happy family.
