Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father Lyrics

Send "Honor Thy Father" ringtones to your cell

We’re taught unconditional love 
That blood is thicker than water 
That a parent’s world would revolve 
Always around their son or their daughter 

You pretend I was your own 
And even believed that you loved me 
But were always threatened by some 
Invisible blood line that only you could see 

You took advantage of an outreached hand 
And twisted it to meet your every need 
“Gimme time to re-charge my batteries, 
I’ll see her when she’s older and I’ll bounce her on my knee” 

Well listen to me you ungrateful fool 
Her comes a dose of reality 
You’ll go to your grave a sad and lonely man 
The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan 

On and on and on and on it goes 
It’s so easy to run away with nothing in tow 

How can you ever sleep a wink at night 
Pretending that everything is alright 
And have the nerve to blame this mess on me 

Never in my life have I seen someone 
So Ignorant to the damage he has done 
You’re the rotted root in the family tree 

I tried your 4 bill therapy 
I tried to make amends 
But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again 

Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet 
Don’t you see respect is not a one way street 
Blaming everyone for all that you’ve don e wrong 
I’ll get my peace of mind when you hear this song 

On and on and on and on it goes 
And with every passing day true colors show 

How can you ever sleep a wink at night 
Pretending that everything is alright 
And have the balls to blame this mess on me 

Never in my life have I seen someone 
Oblivious to the damage he has done 
You’re the rotted root in the family tree 

Watch where you walk 
Don’t you dare cross the crooked step 
Watch the way you talk 
Don’t cross the crooked step 

On and on and on and on it goes 
Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold 

How can you ever sleep a wink at night 
Pretending that everything is alright 
And have the balls to blame this shit on me 

Never in my life have I seen someone 
So fucking blind to the damage he has done 
You’re the rotted root in the family tree
