Like Father, Like Son Exodus

[Verse 1]
Spare the rod and 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 grandpa's lesson well
Splitting image of a man in hell

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
