Lyrics

You were given everything
A name, a title, a future
The highest seat at the highest table
And you treat it like a joke
I treat it like what it is
A chair
A very expensive chair
That someone decided mattered
It does matter
Order matters
Structure matters
Without it everything falls
Everything falls anyway
I've watched it happen
More times than you've been alive
Father
Don't
Don't what
Tell the truth
Or tell it to you
We've had this argument before
A hundred times, a thousand years
You say hold the line
I say what line
You say protect what we built
I say who did the building
And who paid for it
You think you're above it
Above all of us
I think I've seen enough
To know the difference
Between order
And the appearance of order
And what do you see now
Running around with rebels
With criminals
With people who want to burn everything down
I see a story
One worth watching
This is not a story
This is your life
Our legacy
Everything I have built
For you
You think I don't know
What you're doing
Who you're helping
I know everything you do
I always have
Then you know I'm not wrong
I know you're not careful
And in our world
That's worse
We've had this argument before
And we'll have it again
You'll walk out that door
I'll let you go
Because I always let you go
And you'll come back
Because you always come back
And nothing will be resolved
And everything will remain
Exactly as it is
Then why do we keep having it
Father
Because someday
You might actually listen
And if I don't
Then I'll be there anyway
That's what fathers do
..That's not fair
No
It isn't
We've had this argument before
We'll have it a hundred times more
You go your way
I go mine
And somewhere between your chaos
And my order
Is the thing neither of us
Will ever say out loud
I know
I know you know
..Same time next century?
Don't be glib
Too late
