To Protect The Family Name
David Bazan, Chris Pugmire
Officer
Please don't haul me in
Though i'm drunk again
I can explain
I swear to you
For a week i have
Been completely dry
Until tonight
He's been such a good example
Everyhing he's done for me
I couldn't bear to let him down
Monday night
Brother sat me down
Very graciously
And explained
If i'm going to help you
I must make it very clear
Brother that i love you
But certainly i hate your sin
So you see you can't arrest me
I swore i'd be careful not to
Further shame the family name
