lyrics

Grandma I think you better put the genealogy away
Can’t you see how the family tree has just been withering away
You’ve been tugging on the branches, the control you’ve supposed
Pitting us all against each other so that you wouldn’t be exposed

I’ve hardly got any memories left of swinging from the old willows
And of how grandpa used his pocketknife to carve us bows and arrows
All the cousins running around among the corn silos
That old tree is weeping, his head hanging low

Grandma I think you’d better take an axe to the root of bitterness
You know I never ever wanted things to turn out like this
You’ve caused so much division and it’s gotten such
That it’s choked out the love among us to where we barely stay in touch
