Lyrics

I inherited my nature, I can't suppress my anger Like my father I am, my father's double A good man, but something troubled him A bad temper Release the tantrum An atom of those guilt And bit of it I can't stop it Freezing me, Bill [?] If you could see the pain that hides behind my eyes You might understand me I've tried to stop I've gotta stop But I can't Something small is all it takes, then I take a fit My better judgment puts it's great task to the fence Each year it happens I takе offense Relеase the tantrum And betterment A voice that won't forgive in my mind Relentless it can't rest 'til it's taken It's easy, yeah, but harder to justify Every time Every time Every time Every time Every time It doesn't matter what you want from me I don't think there's worth in my apology Cause people never really change You and I will always be the same It's not a problem that we can't mend But if it happened once it will happen again I don't know what happened to me I guess it just runs in the family, I'm sorry If they could see inside of me Then they might know my misery I can never expect them to understand If I could just stay in control This helplessness only I know Would my mind trigger violence? It seems to demand If I don't feed my aggressions It only brings me depression It's as if I've deprived my deepest need But the angry youth's tale is the story of mankind What piece of me he'd must find Until then his resent will grow and grow

Meaning of "Runs in the Family [Duh (Reissue)]" by Lagwagon

The narrator grapples with an inherited, uncontrollable anger, seeing themselves as a mirror image of their father. This isn't just a fleeting mood; it's a deeply ingrained nature they feel powerless to suppress. The lyrics paint a picture of internal struggle, where a "bad temper" feels like a genetic inheritance, a "tantrum" that must be "release[d]" despite the guilt it brings.
