Family Tree
I'm gonna chop down the family tree
Rake them into piles and burn all the leaves
'Cause it's a forest of cowards and a forest of theieves
Show no mercy
I'm gonna chop down the family tree
Mill them into boards and build an effigy
I'm gonna set it on fire
It's gonna set dad free
Show no mercy
When evil thoughts got you caught I have no sympathy
Trying to shake a couple of cents out of a man who used to be
Thinking you're gonna sink a little sense back into me
Swingin' an axe will never split my family
With all that digging through the dirt you hope to see
That all your troubling words are gonna somehow get to me
A moneymaker I am not nor will I ever be
So there is nothing you can take from me
I'm gonna chop down the family tree
Throw my axe into its side and leave it be
And when they fall to the ground I will be the last thing they see
Show no mercy
Rake them into piles and burn all the leaves
'Cause it's a forest of cowards and a forest of theieves
Show no mercy
I'm gonna chop down the family tree
Mill them into boards and build an effigy
I'm gonna set it on fire
It's gonna set dad free
Show no mercy
When evil thoughts got you caught I have no sympathy
Trying to shake a couple of cents out of a man who used to be
Thinking you're gonna sink a little sense back into me
Swingin' an axe will never split my family
With all that digging through the dirt you hope to see
That all your troubling words are gonna somehow get to me
A moneymaker I am not nor will I ever be
So there is nothing you can take from me
I'm gonna chop down the family tree
Throw my axe into its side and leave it be
And when they fall to the ground I will be the last thing they see
Show no mercy
