Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father |
Dream Theater We're taught unconditional love That blood is thicker than water Always around their son or their daughter That a parent's world would revolve You pretend I was your own And even believed that you loved me Invisible blood line that only you could see But were always threatened by some You took advantage of an outreached hand "Gimme time to reI'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee" And twisted it to meet your every need Well listen to me you ungrateful fool Her comes a dose of reality You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan On and on and on and on it goes It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the nerve to blame this mess on me So Ignorant to the damage he has done Never in my life have I seen someone You're the rotted root in the family tree I tried your 4 bill therapy I tried to make amends Don't you see respect is not a one way street But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song Blaming everyone for all that you've don e wrong On and on and on and on it goes And with every passing day true colors show How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this mess on me You're the rotted root in the family tree Oblivious to the damage he has done Never in my life have I seen someone Watch where you walk Don't you dare cross the crooked step Watch the way you talk Don't cross the crooked step On and on and on and on it goes Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this shit on me So fucking blind to the damage he has done Never in my life have I seen someone You're the rotted root in the family tree |
