Family Ties 

Ever since they were born

she was worried about their friends

even when they turned twenty five

she was worried about the company they'd keep

one day it was three in the morning

the door bell rang

she got up in a sweat

blue lights flashing everywhere

the boys in blue standing at the door

the look on their faces scared her enough

before they told her what she was always afraid of



chorus

do you know where your son/daughter is tonight

I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight



ever since she was brought to this home

she's been cursing every woman with a child

she says they brought to this world the curse

that have stained the good name of mankind

one day it was three in the morning

the guard came running to tell us she's gone

blue lights flashing everywhere

all over again

the boys in blue, looking for her

the look on their faces

scared us enough when they told us to strengthen our family ties



chorus

do you know where your mother/father is tonight

I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
