Black Sheep in the Family

Black sheep in the family
Doing only what he wants to do
He tries to conform but he won't believe
That he's got to play by the rules

But it's too much fun to shake things up
It's too much fun to do his own thing
It's too much fun to have too much fun
It's feels to good even though it stings

Black Sheep
In the Family
No one knows why he does these things
He's not gonna let anybody pull his strings
He's a Black Sheep
In the family

He dresses like a killer
His hair is always too long
He'll often be the one to do the things
That are so very wrong

But he's got a brilliant side
That he doesn't always show
He's too busy telling lies
About where he's gonna go

Black Sheep
In the Family
No one knows why he does these things
He's not gonna let anybody pull his strings
He's a Black Sheep
In the family

Black Sheep have more fun
You know it always happens
To the favorite son
