Well, you always like to take advice
From the worst possible source that you can get
Well, it's a testament to how you are
And how you act, and how you try to live
Do the sins of your father
Really not make you rather concerned?
Well, look out baby I'm coming in hot
Gonna teach you all of the shit that you should have learned
And ain't it strange to think
How quickly, how quickly time has passed
When you were out there bound for glory
Doing right not doing wrong but that all passed
Oh, and ain't it such a daggone shame
When you finally realize you've gone blind
Oh well, you never could see through
You never could see through
You never could see through your foggy eye
Well, send me west toward the Sun or east
Toward the Moon fast as you can
Well, I offer sympathetic thoughts
To the one that never even offered me a hand
Do the sins of the father
Really not bother you at all?
Well, look at me, I'm standing here now
But I'm gonna be the one that takes the fall
And ain't it strange to think
How quickly, how quickly time has passed
When you were out there bound for glory
Doing right not doing wrong but that all passed
Oh, and ain't it such a daggone shame
When you finally realize you've gone blind
Oh well, you never could see through
You never could see through
You never could see through your foggy eye
One more time
And ain't it strange to think
How quickly, how quickly time has passed
When you were out there bound for glory
Doing right not doing wrong but that all passed
Oh, and ain't it such a daggone shame
When you finally realize you've gone blind
Oh well, you never could see through
You never could see through
You never could see through your foggy eye
