Exodus - Like Father, Like Son lyrics

Spare the rod, spoil the child Daddy's boy's been too wild His discipline's taught with a strap No sweet song on father's lap He always said that men don't cry But burns and bruises seldom lie Dad learned his lesson well Spitting image of a man in hell Brought up in a home where love's replaced by pain And when he's on his own he's sure to do the same Expressing his feelings not with love but with his fists The pattern of hurting began generations before Like father, like son Another life has begun The punishing ways that you choose You were always born to lose Like father, like son A war you've never won Please Daddy, no more... Please Daddy, no more! The circle continues of violence pa**ed down All there is hope for is a tear from a clown Hoping someday that this torture will end To prison or d**h I hope you will be sent
