Doctrine (PreEmptive Strike 0.1 Remix)

When he was a little boy, his father used to say

"You want to grow to be a man, you'd better start today"

Listen closely to my words, and I will show you how

The seven steps to manhood, and I'll teach them to you now

The only thing you'll ever own is what you hold inside

Your dignity, intelligence, your loyalty, and pride

Ego and indifference are cancers of the weak

Honesty is godliness, be truthful when you speak

If you want to be remembered when your earthly life is through

Then teach your sons to leave their mark on everything they do

Know when to turn the other cheek

Know when to seek revenge

The vine that never picks a side dies rotting on the fence

Son, you wanna grow up, think you ought to slow up

I see disaster in everything you do

Dad, when I grow up, things are gonna blow up

I'm gonna be a man just like you

Son, you wanna grow up, think you ought to slow up

I see disaster in everything you do

Dad, when I grow up, things are gonna blow up

I'm gonna be a man just like you

When the son became a father, then he told his children, too

"Be mindful of the things I say and not the things I do"

It's very hard to be the man you read about in books

The knights and kings you fantasized

Now commoners and crooks

But no one can imprison an educated mind

Go be yourself and free yourself by learning all the time

If you should discover you've given all you can

There's nothing more to answer for, that's how to be a man

Son, you wanna grow up, think you better slow up

I see disaster in everything you do

Dad, when I grow up, things are gonna blow up

I'm gonna be a man just like you

Son, you wanna grow up, think you ought to slow up

I see disaster in everything you do

Dad, when I grow up, things are gonna blow up

I'm gonna be a man just like you

Son, you wanna grow up, think you better slow up

I see disaster in everything you do

Dad, when I grow up, things are gonna blow up

I'm gonna be a man just like you

Son, you wanna grow up, think you ought to slow up

I see disaster in everything you do

Dad, when I grow up, things are gonna blow up

I'm gonna be a man just like you

I'm gonna be a man just like you
