How to Play Guitar to the Song Like Father Like Son.mp4

LYRICS
All the days under the sun
Like father, like son
All the ways our mission won
Like father, like son

A chip off the ‘ole block
Contribution to the genetic clock
A chip off the ‘ole block
Reign’s end drawing near… tick-tock

Chorus

Standing up for freedom
Bringing sum enlightenment to some
Fighting for the good fight
Giving proof through the night
Are you aware? Our flag’s still there

Chorus

Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle
Little Boy Blue and the Man In The Moon
Boy to man then to dust too soon
When you coming home Dad (Son)? “I don’t know when…
You know we’ll get together then.”

LYRICS
Rack ’em. Break ’em.
Let the balls roll
Whack ’em. Crack ’em.
Let the deal dole

No longer behind the eight ball any more
Check out all the angles to explore
Eyes popping from their sockets
Watching balls rolling into pockets

Chorus

There is so little to do with luck
Whether you bet the farm or just a buck
It’s more a matter to see geometry
Whether a straight shooter is what you’ll be

Chorus

Strike with just the right English
Weave yourself into the fabric’s mesh
Some happen to call it The Zen
As it happens to you, you’ll know when

LYRICS
I bet you’ve got a story you thought I’ve never heard
I bet you’ve got a story considered beyond absurd

So, climb aboard and ride the bandwagon with me
So, climb aboard and swing from a star
It’s easy to be beyond bizarre

You say the picture of Earth is hanging crooked
You say the politicians are all f#&%ed
Well, today’s the day we rectify
Today’s the day the try is the dye
Break the mold and cast the I

Dancing Off The Roof

LYRICS
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

Might as well transpire
Our feat is on fire
Might as well transpire
Our feet are on fire

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The sweat is dripping from my brow
Now, it pours from every pore

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The “Hard Sun” is pounding down
… some more and some more

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

It’s not as though we’re aloof
Or your reality is just a spoof

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

LYRICS
Why would I sit… sit here and wait
Just to hesitate then gulp on your bait?

If you think being caught is what you’ve got
We’re here to tell you that it’s not
Off the hook. Close the book.
The End. A chance to live again

Something smells fishy. You know there’s something fishy
You know there’s something fishy going on (again)

Now that I’m free… I’ve been set free
I can tell you clearly what I can see
The hierarchy versus anarchy
Creates hypocrisy in the depths of our sea
