Verse 1:
C                   F                         C
 Mama said to me we  gotta have your life run  right
C
 Off you got to school
      F                  G              C
Where  you can learn the  rules they're  right
C
 Be just like your dad lad
F                       C
 Follow in the same tra-dition
C                    F               G       C   
 Never go astray and  stay an honest  lovin'  son (G)
 
|Chorus:
|C
| Son of my father
|F              G              C
| Molded, I was  folded, I was  preform-packed
|C
| Son of my father
|    F             G             C
|Com-manded, I was  branded in a  plastic vac'
|    F               G              C
|Sur-rounded and con-founded by sta-tistic facts [G]

Verse 2:
C                         F                         C
 Tried to let me in but I  jumped out of my skin in  time
C                           F             G  C
 I saw through the lies and  read the ali-bi  signs
C                       F                    C
 So I left my home, I'm  really on my own at  last
C                          F          G         C
 Left the trodden path and  separated  from the  past [G]
 
|Chorus:
|C
| Son of my father
|F              G             C
| Changing, rea-rranging into  someone new
|C
| Son of my father
|F                  G            C
| Collecting and se-lecting inde-pendent views
|F                G               C
| Knowing and I'm  showing that a  change is due [G]
|
|C
| Son of my father
|F              G              C
| Molded, I was  folded, I was  preform-packed
|C
| Son of my father
|    F             G             C
|Com-manded, I was  branded in a  plastic vac'
|    F               G              C
|Sur-rounded and con-founded by sta-tistic facts [G]
