Our dad would send us to our room
He'd be the voice of doom
He said that we would thank him later
All day we're solid as a rock
But by eight o'clock we'd be crumbling
One night, my brother Joe and me
Cut down a family tree
That grew outside our bedroom window
We ran though we knew we couldn't last
Running from the past
The youths that we were born to be
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the back seat of the car
With Joseph and Emily
We only see so far
And we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre
Dad rang the officer in charge
A man so large
He barely fit his circumstances
He said two kids out on the street
Were picked up on the beaten in the station
So there's me with Emily and Joe
And daddy driving home
All heading in the same direction
He knew no matter what the breaks
We'd make the same mistakes
Couldn't take his eyes off Joe and me
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the back seat of the car
With Joseph and Emily
We only see so far
And we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
Looking back it's so bizarre
Like a dream within a dream of a song
We're in between
Like a drummer plays a drum
Like a father, like a son
You're gonna have to face the music
Oh yeah, face the music
Hey, hey, we keep it running in the family
Hey, hey, we keep on coming in the family
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the back seat of the car
With Joseph and Emily
We only see so far
And we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre, oh yeah
Running in the family
Running in the family
And we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre, oh yeah
Running in the family
Running in the family
