I Am Part of a Large Family Songtext
von Great Lake Swimmers

Why are we fighting, why are we fighting?
Kicking and screaming, scratching and biting.
Keeping it going, wherever we′re going.
Generations are generating,
And what am I supposed to do
But take good care, good care of you?
We have a lot of work to do,
Me and you, and you, and you.


Brothers and sisters are in my arms.
Brothers and sisters are up in arms.
Mothers and fathers, sons and the daughters.
Up in the army, the men and the ladies.
And we have a lot of work to do,
Me and you, and you, and you.
Out of the money and into the storm.
Brothers and sisters are in my arms.

I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
And that's enough for me.

Drop the axes, and recheck the facts, I said.
Brothers and sisters, telling the story.
Out of the money, and into the storm.
I said my peace, I said
I said my piece, I said peace, I said peace, I said.

I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
And that′s enough for me
