Father can you help me now
I've fallen weak again
Father can you hear me now
I can't go on
[A-Chorus:]
Pushed to far
Meet my standards
Make them proud
k** because I tell you to
Firstborn son
Don't want to see no tears
[B-Chorus:]
The dream appears
When I close my eyes
Someday that ba*tard dies
Son he says
You'll be sent away
To make me proud
And to make them pay
Baptised by fire
Baptised by fire
Seems like only yesterday
I was a boy without a care
Now I got to make them pay
Or be sent home in a bag
[A+B ChorusES]
Father tells me not to cry
You're a man and not a boy
He tells me hold my head up high
Even when I've got nothing to pride
Listen to mamma boy and you'll be weak
Do as I say and not as I do
He says it's nothing when he needs a drink
Boy I'm a man and I made you
[A+B ChorusES]
You've got no right
To send off to war
k** or be k**ed
Are you proud while I'm being scarred?
They say that I'm a soldier now
Time to show your might
Feels like spending time in hell
And my mind isn't right
Ten years later tell them I am a man
But I'm still locked away
Father says didn't go as planned
Ashamed of me so it's best I stay
[A+B ChorusES]
