From the recording Colours
Lyrics
FAMILY MAN
It was in the papers this morning
Really wonderful news
Mission’s been accomplished
Everybody’s coming home
Home from the foreign lands
And the ravages of war
Home to be a family man once more
It was in the news this morning
Factory’s closing down
The last remaining vestige
Of work around this town
Home from the factory
To depression and blame
Home to be a family man again
Sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet home
Home to be a family man again
Now she’s workin’ every hour
Packaged up real sweet
Maybe in the boardroom
Maybe on the street
He meets her at the threshold
Of life versus gain
Oh to be a family man again
Oh to be a family man again
Wanna be a family man again
