Exodus Like Father Like Son Lyrics

Like Father Like Son Lyrics

Spare the rod, spoil the child

Daddy's boy's been too wild

His discipline's taught with a strap

No sweet song on father's lap

He always said that men don't cry

But burns and bruises seldom lie

Dad learned his lesson well

Spitting image of a man in hell



Brought up in a home where love's replaced by pain

And when he's on his own he's sure to do the same

Expressing his feelings not with love but with his fists

The pattern of hurting began generations before



Like father, like son

Another life has begun

The punishing ways that you choose

You were always born to lose

Like father, like son

A war you've never won

Please Daddy, no more...

Please Daddy, no more!



The circle continues of violence passed down

All there is hope for is a tear from a clown

Hoping someday that this torture will end

To prison or death I hope you will be sent



Now do you feel like your life is on hold?

Maybe you've come to the end of your road

Admitting your sins may be your sacrifice

To stop all this pain to your son and your wife
