Chicory Tip Son Of My Father Lyrics

Son Of My Father Lyrics

Mama said to me, we gotta have your life run right

Off you go to school
where you can learn the rules there right

Be just like your dabbling
father when it seems tradition 

Never go astray and stay an honest,
loving son



Son of my father 

Moulded, I was folded, I was
free from draft

Son of my father

Commanded, I was branded in a
plastic vac

Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts



Tried to get me in but I jumped out of my skin in time

I saw through
their lies and read the alibi signs

So I left my home, I'm really on my
own at last

Left the wrong path and separated from the past



Son of my father

Changing, rearranging into someone new

Son of my
father

Collecting and selecting independent views

Knowing and I'm
showing how the change is due



Son of my father 

Moulded, I
was folded, I was free from draft

Son of my father

Commanded, I was
branded in a plastic vac ....
