|
your dad did |
|
|
|
Well
the sun comes up and you stare your cup of coffee, yup |
|
Right
through the kitchen floor |
|
You
feel like hell so you might as well get out and sell |
|
Your
smart ass door to door |
|
|
|
And
the Mrs. wears her robe slightly undone |
|
As
your daughter dumps her oatmeal on your son |
|
And
you keep it hid |
|
Just
like your did |
|
|
|
So
you go to work just to watch some jerk |
|
Pick
up the perks |
|
You
were in line to get |
|
And
the guy that hired you just got fired, |
|
Your
job's expired |
|
They
just ain't told you yet |
|
|
|
So
you go and buy a brand new set of wheels |
|
To
show your family just how great you feel |
|
Acting
like a kid |
|
Just
like your dad did |
|
And |
|
|
|
BRIDGE: |
|
You're
a chip off the old block |
|
Why
does it come as such a shock |
|
That
every road up which you rock |
|
Your
dad already did |
|
|
|
Yeah
you've seen the old man's ghost |
|
Come
back as creamed chipped beef on toast |
|
Now
if you dont get your slice of the roast |
|
You're
gonna flip your lid |
|
Just
like your dad did, just like your dad did |
|
|
|
Well
the day was long now, supper's on |
|
The
thrill is gone |
|
But
something's taking place |
|
Yeah
the food is cold and your wife feels old |
|
But
all hands fold |
|
As
the two year old says grace |
|
She
says help the starving children to get well |
|
But
let my brother's hamster burn in hell |
|
You
love your wife and kids |
|
Just
like your dad did |
