Family System Lyrics

Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh!

I'm tired of your open mouth,
Crawling inside my skin,
And this play we never quit,
The fight within the cross begun,
Say that its too late,
When a man has got he'll learn to hate (hate).

Forget the time I said never will,
Replace me with,
But never will,
Beyond the facts that are in your face,
Ignore the facts beyond your nose,
Said its to late,
When a man has gotta learn to hate.

Grow up!

Not without meaning,
No response,
Not a feeling.

Just grow up!

Wrong!

*What a man's gotta learn to hate

Actually, I just got the CD. Several parts on this are wrong:

"had this plan we'd never quit" should read "Endless pain we'll never quit. / The fight within that pride's begun." "When a man's gotta be" should say "What a man's got he'll learn to hate." Finally, the second verse should be "Forget the time I said I would / Replace it with I never will / Beyond the facts held in your face / Ignore the facts beyond your nose." Finally, the little couplet there should be different, but it's 3:24am and I don't wanna go out to the car.

This song is about a dysfunctional family.

The verses are pretty self-explanatory, and the "What a man's got he'll learn to hate" is talking about how they were blessed with a family, but they started to resent it.

"Wrong!" is an argument back and forth.

My Interpretation

This song is one of my favourites, its got a great sound and the lyrics are meaningfull and alot of people could relate to them as its about a family breaking up.

"What a man's gotta learn to hate."

Fucking awesome.

@bizarre - I agree that this is what that line actually says, rather than "What a man's got, he'll learn to hate", which is what all the lyrics sites show.

This song to me is about a family splitting up, and all you can do about it is grow up, and in this case grow up wrong! parents dont care what becomes of the child anymore its only about oneself!
