Family History Lyrics

Family History lyrics

Family history, I don't know too much, family history, I don't keep in touch


With my mother and father quite like I want to do 

There's some family history, I'd rather not go lookin' through 



Family history will repeat, look through your history, you're sure to meet 

Someone a walkin' much the same pathway as you 

It's just family history, like it or not you're passin' through 



Family bible, dates and names, faces in pictures look much the same 

Like you're runnin' in circles, until you don't know where it ends 

Can't know where you're goin' until you know just where you've been 



What's with my uncle, I want to know, we never see him whenever we go 

To some family reunion, no one dares to say his name 

It's against the rules in our secret family history game 



Family history, need to learn, lest old troubles will return 

Come back and haunt you, you'll hear them rattle their chain 

You'd better break it, it might just drag you down again 



Family history seems like fate, but you can break it, it's not too late 

To ask a few questions, it's time to face up to your fear 

Because it lies there waitin', it's comin' back again next year
