My Father’s Son Pearl Jam

[Verse 1]
I come from a genius and I am my father's son
Yeah, too bad he was a psychopath and now I'm the next in line
Then there's dear mother, yeah, surely she's a work of art
Mm, I never got top dollar, but she gave us all our start

[Chorus 1]
Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool drownin' me
Can I beg a release? I'm a volunteer amputee
From the moment I fail, I call on DNA
Why such betrayal got me tooth and nail

[Verse 2]
Yeah, how's about one conversation with nothing else left to be had
Oh, with this, your young long lost son, and his never had dear old dad
I forget the insemination and for that I'm supposed to be glad?
What a pity, you left us so soon to climb your mountain of regret

[Chorus 2]
Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool dark and deep
Can I beg a release? Can I volunteer amputee?
From the moment I fell, I called on DNA
Why such betrayal? Oh, I gotta set sail

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
