My Father’s Son

歌詞

I come from a genius and I am my father's son Too bad he was a psychopath And now I'm the next in line Then there's dear mother, yeh Shirley She's a work of art Never got top dollar, but she gave us all our start Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool drowning me Can I beg a release? I'm a volunteer amputee From the moment I fail I call on DNA Why such betrayal? Got me tooth and nail Yeh, How's about one conversation With nothing else left to be had? With this your young long lost son And his never had dear old dad Forget the insemination And for that, I'm supposed to be glad? What a pity you left us so soon To climb your mountain of regret Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool dark and deep Can I beg a release? Can I volunteer amputee From the moment I fail I call on DNA Why such betrayal? Gotta set sail All the bright lights shining As you're trying to breathe in thin air Cannot forget you're hiding Collected wounds left unhealed When every thought you're thinking Sinks you darker than a new moon sky The far away lights rising In the whites of your eyes Now father you're dead and gone And I'm finally free to be me Thanks for all your fucked-up gifts For which I got no sympathy Now I'm living in a war torn place Hear the bombs, a 5th Symphony Thanks for this and thanks for that Gotta let go legacy Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool drowning me Can I beg a release? Can I volunteer amputee From the moment I fail I call on DNA Why such betrayal? I gotta set sail
