Like Father Like Son Songtext

(Father) Don't come on so cocksure boy You can't escape your genes No point in feeling pure boy Your background intervenes Listen good and listen straight You're not the master of your fate To this you must be reconciled You'll always be your father's child At times acclaimed at times reviled You'll wind up doing just what I'd have done Like father like son (Son) Don't assume your vices Get handed down the line That a parent's blood suffices To condemn the child's design I've odne wrong I can't deny But at least I know that I Shouldn't blame that on my stock This may come as quite a shock I'm no chip off any block I wouldn't wish those words on anyone Like father like son (Father) He's lost all sense of reason And why? Some filthy slave That is the road called treason That winds up in the grave Just like me he's found that flesh Can excite but will enmesh Once we rid him of this blight Once this harlot's out of sight Then I think he'll see the light He won't walkback to daddy he will run Like father like son
