lyrics

Grandfather
Remembering
Uncles sit
Arguing
Purgatory and venial sin,
Backroom snits on politics.
In the end, in the end...
Still family.

Democrat and
Delegate
Leaning right
Republicans
Talking rule of law and welfare state
And merits of marginal rates
In the end, in the end...
Still family.

Now Fringes
On the edge.
Fringes
Pull the thread.
And once you start
It's hard to bring it back again.
Once you start
Can't fix it.

This discourse seems to be
No use of listening.
Why should I be listening
If you'll never agree with me?
Is this the end of what we lived?
Waning strength when no one gives.
Now we may as well just draw
A Mason Dixon line across our heart.
In the end, in the end, in the end,
In the end, in the end,
Are we still family?
