Lyrics
Wasn’t it once you who told me
I wouldn’t make the grade?
But weren’t you the one I noticed
Quivering afraid
When I was young, I needed guidance
But you were never there
You were always too wrapped up
To ever even care
What would have happened?
If I had traveled down the path
That you had mapped out before me
My fate won’t suffer from your wrath
Didn’t you once try to sell me?
On all your empty plans
But wasn’t I the one who noticed
You were just a frightened man
What would have happened?
If I had followed the same map
That you had charted before me
We’d suffer the fate of your wrath
I’ll never waste
A single day
Living the way
That you had made
I’ll never make
The children pay
Making the same mistakes
You had made
Wasn’t it once you who tried to
Rule over the whole land
Screaming out your orders to me
But you were never in command
What would have happened?
If my crimes were all the same
As the ones committed by you
Have I been punished by your name?
I’ll never waste
A single day
Living the way
That you had made
I’ll never make
The children pay
Making the same mistakes
You made
I’ll never waste
A single day
Living the way
That you had made
I’ll never make
My children pay
Making the same mistakes
You made
