Like Father Like Son
Elton John & Tim Rice

Like father, like son

Like father, like son

Like father, like son


Don't come on so cocksure boy

You can't escape your genes

No point in feeling purer boy

Your background intervenes


Listen good and listen straight

You're not the master of your fate

To this you must be reconciled

You'll always be your father's child

At times acclaimed, at times reviled

You'll wind up doing just what I've done


Like father, like son

Like father, like son


Don't assume your vices

Get handed down the line

That a parent's blood suffices

To condemn the child's design


I've done wrong, I can't deny

But at least I know that I

Shouldn't blame that on my stock

This may come as quite a shock

But I'm no chip off any block

I wouldn't wish those words on anyone


Like father, like son

Like father, like son


Son, you're nervous, take my hand

All is settled, all is planned

You've got the world at your command

I don't think you understand



Just have the slave if you must

And be done with her

Don't ever speak of her

Like that again


I appreciate too well

The squalor at which you excel

It isn't very hard to tell

Evil's a distinctive smell


From this day on

I choose my own way

If I choose to be with Aida

Then I will be

And no one, not you

Not even the gods can stop me


He's lost all sense of reason, and why?

Some foreign slut

Not only is that treason

Some doors are slamming shut


Just like me, he's found that flesh

Can excite but will enmesh

Watch me rid him of this blight

Once the harlot's out of sight

Then I think he will see the light

He won't walk back to daddy, he will run


Like father, like son

Like father, like son


Like father, like son

Like father, like son
