His Father's Son

He is only his father's son.
He fought the man, but the anger won.
His is such a dismal fate,
to be so consumed by hate.
And so the cycle spirals on...

He was just a boy raised on GI-Joe's
Wore camouflage, played army in the garage
Carried guns and bombs and fighter planes
From the start, it seems, a battle raged within his heart.

Play fights and violent games were the order of the day
But when he got pushed too far, he listened to his father say,
"Punch them in the nose.  Never let them get their way."
You see, from the start, a battle raged in his father's heart.

He is only his father's son.
He fought the man, but the anger won.
His is such a tragic fate
to be consumed by so much hate.
And so the cycle spirals on...

Now he's grown.  Now he's a man.  But his father still can't
understand
why the boy that he raised, spends most of his days
wearing camouflage, firing guns, defending the war, it must be
won.
Across the sea in foreign parts, they try to settle a battle forged
in so many men's hearts.

He is only his father's son
He fought the man, but the anger won.
It is such a lonely fate
to be all consumed by hate
And so the cycle spirals on...
