The Circus Hearts - Family Tree

I need to get this off my chest
Where do I begin?
You choose your best drinkin' friends
But you can't choose your kin
And that's the truth
We tried to live in harmony
But we never was in tune
The whole damn song was out of key
Cacophonous and rude
But I'm no stranger
To singing my own tune

I didn't choose this pack of donkeys
They chose me
They'll kick you in your teeth
To climb this family tree
I gotta lose these drama junkies
Chasing me
They'll knock you off your branch
To climb this family tree

My brothers, they will cut you off
For pennies on a dime
Explain it with a wink and cough
It happens all the time
Then again, this whole crew will raise a glass
And toast you when you fall
Then they'll tell you that
They were just kidding after all
But I missed the joke
Aww, you silly bloke

I didn't choose this pack of donkeys
They chose me
They'll kick you in your teeth
To climb this family tree
I gotta lose these drama junkies
Chasing me
They'll knock you off your branch
To climb this family tree

You wouldn't believe it
If I wrote it in a book
You'd say I was blind
Even though it's right there to see
I've been vilified, ostracized and shook
Patronized with your side eyed pleasantries

I didn't choose this pack of donkeys
They chose me
They'll kick you in your teeth
To climb this family tree
I gotta lose these drama junkies
Chasing me
They'll knock you off your branch
To climb this family tree
