Lyrics Family Ties - Michael Stipe , Mykki Blanco

I heard about your father
I heard he wasn't doing so well
Surprised you even bothered
He's always got a story to tell

Let's not play the victim
Stick it to me, oh, so good
It's fiction like a sitcom
You've tried everything I know you could

'Cause I hate to see you so low
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck

'Cause I hate to see you so low
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck

Now all you see is problems
You complain enough, it just gets old
You think you won't resolve them
I know you tried to let things go

I'm here to fix everything, tried to save everything
Keep it up, don't ever fold
I don't wanna break, but I don't wanna fake
It's important to me that you know

'Cause I hate to see you so low
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck

'Cause I hate to see you so low
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck

'Cause I hate to see you so low
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck

'Cause I hate to see you so low
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck
