COME NOW SIT DOWN BOY
COME TALK TO ME
'BOUT WHAT YOU, RE GONNA DO
'BOUT WHO YOU'RE GONNA BE
NOW FACE TO FACE I SEE HIM
AND EYE TO EYE
I TRY TO ANSWER HONESTLY
BUT I ONLY SIGHED
AND HE SAID...
DO YOU WANNA BE A DOCTOR
DO YOU WANNA BE A LAWYER
DO YOU WANNA BE OUR PRESIDENT
OR DO YOU WANNA BE LIKE ME
AND I SAID...
CHORUS
THIS OLD MAN, HE PLAYED TRUE
HE PLAYED FOR HIMSELF AND HE
PLAYED IT FOR YOU
THIS OLD MAN MAKES HIS OWN RULES
MY FATHER - MY HANDS, NO MORE
TO HELL WITH YOU
NOW BREAKIN' AWAY
AT MY WILL TO BE
THAT BASTARD FATHER TIME
HE'S GOT A HOLD ON ME
NOW FACE TO FACE TO FACE I SEE
HIM
AS HE BEGAN TO SPEAK
USING WORDS LIKE WIFE AND KIDS
SOME "FUCKED UP FAMILY"
I DON'T WANNA BE A DOCTOR
I DON'T WANNA BE A LAWYER
I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR PRESIDENT
I JUST WANNA BE LIKE ME
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
THIS OLD MAN -HE COUNTS DOWN
"1"
HE CAN COUNT ALL HE WANTS BUT
I'LL STILL BE HIS SON
THIS OLD MAN -HE COUNTS DOWN
"2"
A SPADE IS A SPADE, AND I'M
NOT YOU
THIS OLD MAN -HE COUNTS DOWN
"3"
MY FATHER -MY HANDS, NO MORE
JUST LET ME BE
