about

Funky roadhouse blues rock...medium tempo...Emotion: frustration, family dysfunction, I hate my parents, but God, now I'm them! In the style of Carlos Santana, Bobby Rush.

lyrics

V1
When I look at my brother. . . I just see me
When I listen at my sister. . . It’s just me talkin’ to me
I try so hard. . . Don't wanna be a suit offa the rack
But all my peoples are mirrors. . . They just bounce the pictures right back

Pre-Chorus
What is this thing. . .That I think is a separate me
I’m just a link in real long chain…That goes rollin' cross the sea

Chorus
I can’t get away. . . From my DNA
I can’t get away. . . From my DNA
At the end of the day . . . Still got this DNA
I gotta gotta gotta get away from it somehow
Turn me loose

V2
My momma’s a drunk. . . Always talkin’ other people down
My poppa he's afraid. . . of this world that's goin’ round
If I watch myself. . . Maybe I can rise above
Stop this swimmin' upstream. . . Turn and flow with the love.

Pre-Chorus
