Elton John - Like Father Like Son lyrics

Don't come on so co*ksure boy, you can't escape your genes No point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenes Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's child At times acclaimed, at times reviled You wind up doing just what I've done Like father, like son Like father, like son Don't a**ume your vices get handed down the line That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that I Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as a quite a shock I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyone Like father, like son Like father, like son He's lost all sense of reason, and why some filthy slave That is the road called treason that winds up in the grave Just like me, he's found out a flesh, can excite but will it mesh Watch me rid him of this blight, once this Harlot's out of sight Then I think he will see the light He won't walk back to daddy, he will run Like father, like son Like father, like son Like father, like son ...
