Elton John - Like Father Like Son Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by tim riceEltons solo version is unreleasedLike father, like sonLike father, like sonLike father, like sonDont come on so *****sure boy, you cant escape your genesNo point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenesListen good and listen straight, youre not the master of your fateTo this you must be reconciled, youll always be your fathers childAt times acclaimed, at times reviledYoull wind up doing just what Ive doneLike father, like sonLike father, like sonDont assume your vices get handed down the lineThat a parents blood suffices to condemn the childs designIve done wrong, I cant deny, but at least I know that iShouldnt blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shockBut Im no chip off any block, I wouldnt wish those words on anyoneLike father, like sonLike father, like sonSon, youre nervous, take my handAll is settled, all is plannedYouve got the world at your commandI dont think you understandJust have the slave if you must, and be done with herDont ever speak of her like that againI appreciate too well, the squalor at which you excelIt isnt very hard to tell, evils 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 meHes lost all sense of reason, and why? some foreign slutNot only is that treason, some doors are slamming shutJust like me, hes found that flesh can excite but will enmeshWatch me rid him of this blight, once the harlots out of sightThen I think he will see the lightHe wont walk back to daddy, he will runLike father, like sonLike father, like sonLike father, like sonLike father, like son
