Flesh and blood on the dining room table
On the dishes piled up in the kitchen sink
Flesh and blood in the clothes that we hang on the line
It's the way that we are, it's the way that we think
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la,
Flesh and blood, flesh and blood, flesh and blood
Flesh and blood in our state education
In the effing and blinding that fall from our tongues
Flesh and blood is a form of religion
Our house is the church and the church is our home
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la,
Flesh and blood, flesh and blood, flesh and blood
Flesh and blood on the vinyl wallpaper
On the four of us trapped on a three piece suite
Flesh and blood is our family fortune
It's the only thing we can hang on to
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la,
Flesh and blood, flesh and blood, flesh and blood
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Flesh and blood
