===========================================

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 dad lad
Follow in the same tradition
Never go astray and stay
an honest loving son

Son of my father
Moulded, I was folded,
I was preform packed
Son of my father
Commanded, I was
branded in a plastic vac
Surrounded and confounded
by statistic facts


Tried to let me in but I jumped
out of my skin in time
I saw through the lies and
read the alibi signs

So I left my home I'm really
on my own at last
Left the trodden 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
that a change is due

Son of my father
moulded, I was folded,
I was preform packed
Son of my father
Commanded, I was
branded in a plastic vac
Surrounded and confounded
by statistic facts

Son of my father
Changing, rearranging
into someone new
Son of my father
Collecting and selecting
independent views
And knowing and I'm showing
that a change is due
