Big Family

You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn’t hurt at all
It seems to be the way it is
As we love and hate our families

Now all we wanna be is a great big family, yeah
But all we wanna be is a-one great big
One great big, great big family

Yeah
This vision, that vision
Multi channel television is showing me all the anger
In a multi cultural idealism
And this ism, that ism don’t seem like realism
Cause they is what they is and ain’t what they really is, pretend

And now the world is going round, round, round
The same old shit is going down, down, down
Oh, yeah, down, down, down
But still we keep singing
But still we keep singing on

All we wanna be is a great big family, yeah
But all we wanna be is a-one great big
Yeah, but all we wanna be
One great big, great big family

Now listen
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn’t hurt at all
And it seems to be the way it is
As we and love and hate our families
And you’re dead, dusted, relatives can’t be trusted
Vultures over the will, screaming who is rich, who is busted

And when it’s time to utter bye, bye, bye
There ain’t no use in wondering why, why, why
oh, yeah, why, why, why
But still we keep singing
But still we keep singing on

All we wanna be is a great big family, yeah
But all we wanna be is a-one great big
One great big, great big family

Now get this one
Harmony, altruism, don’t appear to be truisms
As you yell from your cage that relationship is a prison
And anger, freedom
Your neighbour commits treason like he’s always out to get you
When there is no rhyme and is no reason

Don’t waste your time on singing love, love, love
There ain’t no help from up above, ’bove, ’bove
So what is love, love, love?
But still we keep singing
But still we keep singing on
Still we keep singing on

All we wanna be is a great big family, yeah
But all we wanna be is a-one great big
One great big, great big family

Yeah, but we keep singing
And all we wanna be
And all we wanna be
Oh, love, love, love
(Ha-ha, I’m gonna bust your ass boy, ha-ha-ha)
