Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - Like Father Like Son lyrics
rate meSong by Lenny Kravitz<br /><br>
Like father, like son<br>
Like father, like son<br>
Like father, like son<br>
<br>
Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genes<br>
No point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenes<br>
Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate<br>
To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's child<br>
At times acclaimed, at times reviled<br>
You'll wind up doing just what I've done<br>
Like father, like son<br>
Like father, like son<br>
<br>
Don't assume your vices get handed down the line<br>
That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design<br>
I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that I<br>
Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shock<br>
But I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyone<br>
Like father, like son<br>
Like father, like son<br>
<br>
Son, you're nervous, take my hand<br>
All is settled, all is planned<br>
You've got the world at your command<br>
I don't think you understand<br>
<br>
Just have the slave if you must, and be done with her<br>
Don't ever speak of her like that again<br>
<br>
I appreciate too well, the squalor at which you excel<br>
It isn't very hard to tell, evil's a distinctive smell<br>
<br>
From this day on I choose my own way<br>
If I choose to be with Aida, then I will be<br>
And no one, not you, not even the gods can stop me<br>
<br>
He's lost all sense of reason, and why? some foreign slut<br>
Not only is that treason, some doors are slamming shut<br>
Just like me, he's found that flesh can excite but will enmesh<br>
Watch me rid him of this blight, once the harlot's out of sight<br>
Then I think he will see the light<br>
He won't walk back to daddy, he will run<br>
Like father, like son<br>
Like father, like son<br>
Like father, like son<br>
Like father, like son<br>
<br>
