Like Father Like Son
Music by Elton Joh
Lyrics by Tim Ric
Like father, like so
Like father, like so
Like father, like so
Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your gene
No point in feeling purer boy, your background intervene
Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fat
To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's chil
At times acclaimed, at times revile
You'll wind up doing just what I've don
Like father, like so
Like father, like so
Don't assume your vices get handed down the lin
That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's desig
I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that
Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shoc
But I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyon
Like father, like so
Like father, like so
Son, you're nervous, take my han
All is settled, all is planne
You've got the world at your comman
I don't think you understan
Just have the slave if you must, and be done with he
Don't ever speak of her like that agai
I appreciate too well, the squalor at which you exce
It isn't very hard to tell, evil's a distinctive smel
From this day on I choose my own wa
If I choose to be with Aida, then I will b
And no one, not you, not even the gods can stop m
He's lost all sense of reason, and why? some foreign slu
Not only is that treason, some doors are slamming shu
Just like me, he's found that flesh can excite but will enmes
Watch me rid him of this blight, once the harlot's out of sigh
Then I think he will see the ligh
He won't walk back to daddy, he will ru
Like father, like so
Like father, like so
Like father, like so
Like father, like son
