CONTROL BABY

Come back home when you have some sense You can throw your life away, just not at my expense You're not the son I raised Save the son I disciplined and praised for the one who disobeyed me God, I fear the adult you'll grow into The way you've been carryin' on (you'll sink soon) Somethin' has gone horribly wrong (désastreux) Had I not been so easy on you There'd be time to rectify you Come back home when you have some sense You can throw your life away, just not at my expense You're not the son I raised Save the son I disciplined and praised for the one who disobeyed me I guess I'm hard-headed I'm dead set on ruinin' everythin' and everyone A vision said I'd never grow If I'm afraid to pledge flesh and bone Had I not been so easy on you There'd be time to rectify you Come back home when you have some sense You can throw your life away, just not at my expense You're not the son I raised Save the son I disciplined and praised for the one who disobeyed me I can tell when you see me That my eyes look just like mirrors My hands seem soft like clay But did you raise a tool or a hand? Tell me, did you raise a man? I have nightmares of bein' anchored down Come back home when you have some sense You can throw your life away, just not at my expense You're not the son I raised Come back home when you have some sense You can throw your life away, just not at my expense You're not the son I raised Save the son I disciplined and praised for the one who disobeyed Strayed Strayed away!
