Family Jewels

You just want to be treated like family.

have you figured out where you're goin with this one
last one flew pretty good
but Im thinkin this bird has got a different migration to make
so before I take my escape or give you the shake
lets not be like daddy
cuz the stone look and that dog face runs in the family
hazy eyes and indecisive
being the long arm of the law
but its dislocated from the body
the source
you're floatin down a river
no end in sight
no paddle
and Im your sail
but let me become your anchor
or even your life preserver
I dont want to be a stepping stone
because Im a jewel
a family jewel
made like a diamond
crystalized from the years of pressure pressing down
down down down
down the food chain
and chain of command
you make your home for your blood to care for when your gone
you design the wheel so I can take it and steer
stop this bellyaching
the foundation is shaking
I want to help you so you can help me
your head is up your ass
and you cant really see whats goin on
so stop puttin your head in a hole
and lets make daddy proud
