Chicory Tip - Son of my Father 1972

Mama said to me
we gotta have your life run right
Off you got 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 lovin' 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

(Instrumental)

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 independant 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
