Lyrics - Father to Son by Alarm

(one, two, three, four)
My father said son, now my life’s work is done
There’s a future for you, there’s a job to be done
Stop fighting the system ’cause the system won’t break
Get your hair cut boy and learn from my mistakes
Now
I said to my father father give me a break
There’s a million more chances that
I’m bom to take
I don’t want to die like
I saw you die
In a dead end job in a dead end way
How many years must
I waste in these black times
How many years must
I waste
Today
I can’t find nothing nowhere
Tomorrow
I might find something somewhere
Give me a future now
I need it so badly now
Oh for tomorrow
These are times of recession father said unto me
Don’t you leave now my son, you’ll break our family
I said,
I’ve got ideas that
I cannot deny
If
I stay
I’ll be killed by the dreams on my mind.
How many years must
I waste in these black times
How many years must
I waste
Today
I can’t find nothing nowhere
Tomorrow
I might find something somewhere
Give me a future now
I need it so badly now
Oh for tomorrow
I see the signs of black times everywhere
I run
I can’t can’t escape them
No matter how hard
I try
I see these signs of black time everywhere
I run
I can’t stand another day
I gotta move away
I gotta move away
Today
I can’t find nothing nowhere
Tomorrow
I might find something somewhere
Give me a future now
I need it so badly now
Oh for tomorrow
Oh for tomorrow
