Exodus - Like Father, Like Son Lyrics
Spare the rod, spoil the childDaddy's boy's been too wildHis discipline's taught with a strapNo sweet song on father's lapHe always said that men don't cryBut burns and bruises seldom lieDad learned his lesson wellSpitting image of a man in hellBrought up in a home where love's replaced by painAnd when he's on his own he's sure to do the sameExpressing his feelings not with love but with his fistsThe pattern of hurting began generations beforeLike father, like sonAnother life has begunThe punishing ways that you chooseYou were always born to loseLike father, like sonA war you've never wonPlease Daddy, no more...Please Daddy, no more!The circle continues of violence passed downAll there is hope for is a tear from a clownHoping someday that this torture will endTo prison or death I hope you will be sentNow do you feel like your life is on hold?Maybe you've come to the end of your roadAdmitting your sins may be your sacrificeTo stop all this pain to your son and your wife
