I heard a battle raging on the other side of the wall
I buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all.
Every night when I hear you I dream of breaking down your door
An avenging knight in shining armourto rescue you from it all.

From this family businessfamily business
How long does it stayfamily business.
It's nobody's businessthis family business
But tell me how long it remains family business.

When I see you at the supermarketsunglasses in the shade
Averting your eyes from those staring questionshow were those bruises made?
The children clutch tight to your legsthey've got so much they want to say
But daddy's sitting homedrunk again so they bite their lips and pray
Cos daddy don't like people poking in his private affairs
And if anyone asks from the socialwellyou tripped and fell down the stairs.

It's family businesskeep it in the family business.

Can you tell me how long it remains family business?
It's nobody's businessthis family business.
But tell me how long it should stay family business.

She's waiting at the bus stop at the bottom of the hill
She know's she'll never catch itshe knows she never will.
The kids are all she lives forshe's got nothing left to lose
Nowhere to escape tobut she knows she's got to move.
Cos when daddy tucks the kids init's taking longer every night.

It's family businesskeep it in the family business.
Can you tell me how long it reamins family business?
It's nobody's businessthis family business.
But tell me how long it should stay family business.

So I become an accessory and I don't have an alibi
To the victim on my doorstep the only way I can justify.

It's family businessfamily business.
How long do we keep it family business?
