Like Father Like Son Lyrics

Like father, like sonLike father, like sonLike father, like sonDon't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genesNo point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenesListen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fateTo this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's childAt times acclaimed, at times reviledYou'll wind up doing just what I've doneLike father, like sonLike father, like sonDon't assume your vices get handed down the lineThat a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's designI've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that IShouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shockBut I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyoneLike father, like sonLike father, like sonSon, you're nervous, take my handAll is settled, all is plannedYou've got the world at your commandI don't think you understandJust have the slave if you must, and be done with herDon't ever speak of her like that againI appreciate too well, the squalor at which you excelIt isn't very hard to tell, evil's a distinctive smellFrom this day on I choose my own wayIf I choose to be with Aida, then I will beAnd no one, not you, not even the gods can stop meHe's lost all sense of reason, and why? some foreign slutNot only is that treason, some doors are slamming shutJust like me, he's found that flesh can excite but will enmeshWatch me rid him of this blight, once the harlot's out of sightThen I think he will see the lightHe won't walk back to daddy, he will runLike father, like sonLike father, like sonLike father, like sonLike father, like son
