Like Father Like Son Lyrics - Lenny Kravitz

1 Like father, like son

2 Like father, like son

3 Like father, like son

4 Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genes

5 No point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenes

6 Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate

7 To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's child

8 At times acclaimed, at times reviled

9 You wind up doing just what I've done

10 Like father, like son

11 Like father, like son

12 Don't assume your vices get handed down the line

13 That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design

14 I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that I

15 Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shock

16 But I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyone

17 Like father, like son

18 Like father, like son

19 Son, you're nervous, take my hand

20 All is settled, all is planned

21 You've got the world at your command

22 I don't think you understand

23 Just have the slave if you must, and be done with her

24 Don't ever speak of her like that again

25 I appreciate too well, the squalor at which you excel

26 It isn't very hard to tell, evil's a distinctive smell

27 From this day on I choose my own way

28 If I choose to be with Aida, then I will be

29 And no one, not you, not even the gods can stop me

30 He's lost all sense of reason, and why some foreign slut

31 Not only is that treason, some doors are slamming shut

32 Just like me, he's found that flesh can excite but will it mesh

33 Watch me rid him of this blight, once the harlot's out of sight

34 Then I think he will see the light

35 He won't walk back to daddy, he will run

36 Like father, like son

37 Like father, like son

38 Like father, like son

39 Like father, like son
