We were always there

and so were they

thicker than blood families

you know what they say.

So we held ourselves together

high days and holidays

and when the good lord called

it was the way

the family moved.

Then came rebellion

broke all the rules

became a Jehovahs witness

started knocking on doors.

No son of mine

stoops so low

goes to places

that the family dont go.

Best you leave and maybe today

you broke the families rules

and that will not do.

You see we may lie

and cheat on tax

not go to church well we are lax,

we curse here and there

and blame others

but you becoming one of those

and calling them brothers.

We would like you back

but on our rules

you have not the right

to let us down

I am sure god would understand.
