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
DABBLING FATHER WHEN
IT SEEMS TRADITION
NEVER GO ASTRAY AND
STAY AN HONEST, LOVING SON
SON OF MY FATHER
MOULDED, I WAS FOLDED
I WAS FREE FROM DRAFT
SON OF MY FATHER
COMMANDED, I WAS
PLANTED IN A PLASTIC CRAFT
SURROUNDED AND CONFOUNDED
BY STATISTIC FACTS
TRIED TO LIFT ME IN
BUT I JUMPED OUT
OF MY SKIN IN TIME
I SAW THROUGH THEIR LIES
AND READ THE ALIBI SIGNS
SO, I LEFT MY HOME
I'M REALLY ON MY OWN AT LAST
LEFT THE WRONG PATH
AND SEPARATED FROM THE PAST
SON OF MY FATHER
CHANGING, REARRANGING
INTO SOMEONE NEW
SON OF MY FATHER
COLLECTING AND SELECTING
INDEPENDENT VIEWS
KNOWIN' AND I'M SHOWIN'
THAT A CHANGE IS DUE
SON OF MY FATHER
MOULDED, I WAS FOLDED
I WAS FREE FROM DRAFT
SON OF MY FATHER
COMMANDED, I WAS
PLANTED IN A PLASTIC CRAFT
SURROUNDED AND CONFOUNDED
BY STATISTIC FACTS
