(spoken intro:)
|
You always hurt the one you love
|
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
|
It seems to be the way it is
|
As we love and hate our families
|
|
All we wanna be is a great big family
|
Yeah, but all we wanna be
|
is a one great big, one great big,
|
great big family ... yeah
|
|
(spoken:)
|
This vision that vision
|
Multi-channel television
|
Is showing me all the anger
|
In a multi-cultural idealism
|
And this-ism, that-ism
|
Don't seem like realism
|
'Cause they is what they is
|
And ain't what they really isn't
|
|
And now the world is going 'round, 'round, 'round
|
The same old shit is going down, down down
|
Oh yeah down, down, down
|
But still we keep singing
|
But still we keep singing on
|
|
All we wanna be is a great big family
|
Yeah, but all we wanna be
|
is a one great big, one great big,
|
great big family
|
|
Now listen ...
|
|
(spoken:)
|
You always hurt the one you love
|
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
|
And it seems to be the way it is
|
As we love and hate our families
|
And you're dead, dusted
|
Relatives can't be trusted
|
Vultures over the Will screaming
|
Who is rich, who is busted
|
|
And when it's time to utter bye, bye, bye
|
There ain't no use in wondering why, why, why
|
Oh yeah why, why, why
|
But still we keep singing
|
But still we keep singing on
|
|
All we wanna be is a great big family
|
But all we wanna be
|
is a one great big, one great big,
|
great big family
|
|
Now get this one ...
|
|
(spoken:)
|
Harmony altruism
|
Don't appear to be truisms
|
As you yell from your cage
|
That relationship is a prison
|
And anger, freedom
|
Your neighbour commits treason
|
Like he's always out to get you
|
When there is no rhyme or is no reason
|
|
Don't waste your time on singing love, love, love
|
There ain't no help from up above, 'bove, 'bove
|
So what is love, love, love
|
But still we keep singing
|
But still we keep singing on
|
But still we keep singing on
|
|
All we wanna be is a great big family
|
But all we wanna be
|
is a one great big, one great big,
|
great big family ...
|
|
Yeah, we can sing it now ...
|
All we wanna be ...
|
All we wanna be ...
|
|
Love, love, love ...
|
|
(spoken:)
|
Gonna bust your ass, boy ...
