Cover art for Family lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

Terrific song. It's just a narrative about a totally screwed up disfunctional family. Son has no talent but is so clueless he thinks he does; Mother is selfish and lives dangerously for the instant thrills (various lovers, maybe drugs); the neglected daughter has impure thoughts of a incestrious nature; the Father thinks he's the head of the average family, lacking any self awareness of reality.
