Sometimes I think about my sister
Sometimes I think about myself

Well she's this born-again christian
And me well I don't believe in anything

I called her on the phone the other day
My lover-bug was so far away

Sometimes I think about my sister
Sometimes I think about myself

Sometimes I cry about my sister
Sometimes I cry about myself


I think my dad was a racist
Or maybe he was just an ignorant who knows

Well he thought all black people stole from you
And he didn't like mexicans, he didn't care for jews, no, no

Still I wish he was alive today
So we could go off to a dodger game and talk
Well I'll tell him what I believe
And he'll just sit there and listen to the, yin and change


Because blood is thicker than water
Oh yea, blood is thicker than water
At least that's what they say, ah that's what they say
But I don't know, yea I don't know


Well my friends they're important to me
Sure more than any family ever has been

They're the ones that bailed me out of jail
They're the ones that picked me up every time I failed

Well I love them and they love me
And they don't worry if I'm not what they want me to be


Ah 'cause blood is thicker than water
Oh yea, blood is thicker than water
At least that's what they say, that's what they say
But I don't know, yea I don't know


I swore I'd never ever be like my dad
He smoked and drank and yelled at everyone
I swore I'd never ever be like him
But now i look in the mirror and there he is, yeah

I swore I'd never ever be like him
I swore I'd never ever be like him


But, blood is thicker than water
Oh yea, blood is thicker than water
At least that's what they say, that's what they say
But I don't know, yea I don't know

Is blood thicker than water?
