Ode to Dad

Outside, the world's gone mad

And Dad's inside of my head

Asking me what I'm doing

Telling me what to say

Wondering if I'll get a job

Telling me how to behave

Outside, the world's gone mad

And Dad's inside of my head

He knows when I'm feelin' sorrow

He asks me if I still pray

I tell him, "I'll be home tomorrow"

Save my prayers for another day

Outside the world's gone mad

And Dad's inside of my head

He reads me tortured stories

Of heroes who died unnamed

The prophet's words of glory

Devil's fortress of shame

Outside the world's gone mad

And Dad's inside of my head

Outside the world's gone mad

And Dad's inside of my head
