The Beards - The Tale of the Amish Boy (and His Beard) lyrics

Son I grant you the right to go forth into the world But hear my words Wherever you go electricity will be there Do not give in to this evil my boy Do so would be to betray your kin I know you will do what is right Make me proud my son Amish boy became an amish man Grew a beard and left his amish land Walked the miles to the city lights Where the future never looked so bright Electricity in the air And beardless faces everywhere Amish boy in the grip of seduction Electrical superstore with the price reduction Electric big trimmers in the bargain bin It would be so easy he could fit right in He picks one up but then he hears the sound He puts it back and then he turns around And he hears Amish boy just has changed his mind Gonna use the power for the good of mankind He's not gonna shave his heritage away, no He'll buy a guitar and he'll learn how to play He'll keep his beard and he'll keep his pride And you'll hear him into the night Going, he's going Electricity nice and loud And bearded faces in the crowd, yeah Amish boy becomes an amish star Travels home with his electric guitar Will he be accepted by his congregation? Will his father forgive his electrification? Father says: "I don't approve of what you've done And I'm ashamed of what you've become But with the beard like that you'll always be my son With the beard like that you'll always be my son"
