Letra da Música: My Father's Son - Pearl Jam

I came from a genius and I am my father's son
Too bad he was psycopath
And now I'm the next in line

Then theres's dear mother, yeh Shirley (surely)
She's a work of art
Never got top dollar, but she gave us all our start

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool drowing me
Can I beg a release?
I'm a volunteer amputee

From the moment I fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
Got me tooth and nail

Yeh, How's about one conversation
With nothing else left to be had?
With this your young long lost son
And his never had dear old dad

Forget the insemination
And that, I'm supposed to be glad?
What a pity you left us so soon
To climb your montain of regret

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool drowing me
Can I beg a release?
I'm a voluteer amputee

From the moment I fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
Got set sail

All the bright lights shining
As you're trying to breathe in thin air
Cannot forget you're hiding
Collected wounds left unhealed

When every thought you're thinking
Sinks you darker than a new moon sky
The far away lights rising
In the whites of your eyes

Now father you're dead and gone
And I'm finally free to be me
Thanks for all your fucked-up gifts
For which I got no sympathy

Now I'm living in a war torn place
Hear the bombs, a 5th Symphony
Thanks for this and thanks for that
Gotta let go legacy

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool drowing me
Can I beg a release?
Can I a voluteer amputee

From the moment I fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
I gotta set sail
