don't tear up your family

from accompanyments by Big Kitty

lyrics

being alive is more than just living
playing the part while writing the play
taking apart the mind like a puzzle
and putting it back in a different way

skating across a frozen ocean
never sure of a shore to find
don't tear up your family don't you make em cry
don't fill em up with bullets and leave em out to die

don't tear up your family
don't sell them for any price
even though that's how
it's always been done

don't tear up your family
because tearing us up
is tearing you up too

don't tear up your family
how it was is no longer how it is
to believe otherwise is quicker
than a gun for suicide to commit
old is still young
but dead cannot be free
only one choice is made
to be or not to be

i love you all my family
at the deepest core we're one
so it tears me up to see
white supremacy
like a hive of ghosts guarding secrets
the lies of ancestors substituted for liberty
the weight's too heavy, work don't justify
there's a fly on your knee
rubbing its hands together
hungry for you
i noticed cause he flew
from me to you

it tears me up to see
my fighting family
teetering on the edge of oblivion
that's not how it's gotta be done
for our hearts are much vaster
than is commonly believed
please don't kill
with guns or bills
your soul too will be grieved

don't tear up your family
don't sell them for any price
even though that's how it's always been done

don't tear up your fa
