Father O.S.A.

father

you're a sad old man

your tawdry vest is gray



memories

of a former man

are all your words convey



father

oh can't you see

the tarnished robe you wear



a crown

for fools

the people laugh

you never seem to hear



father

you're life's a ship

that's never been to sea



the bottle

that surrounds your life

you'll sail eternally



[keyboard solo]



children

please understand

a man must stand alone



and face a world

he'll never know

and never call his own



ba ba bum bum

[continue echo]
