Daddy Lyrics

Daddy, can I run the country someday?

Yes son, I'm making sure that it turns out that way

Well that's great, so I don't have to do anything

I'll just wait for my silver platter after my motorcycle phase

Democracy ain't supposed to have no kings

So then why do they all have the same names?

Do you think that it's just a coincidence?

Daddy, can I run the company?

Yes son, only you could protect my legacy

But you'll have to have a lot of babies

Because, you know, that some may turn out like your brother

Meritocracy ain't supposed to never change

Look around the table

Same old haircut, same old thing

Do you think that it's just a coincidence?

Democracy ain't supposed to have no kings

Meritocracy ain't supposed to never change

Do you think that it's just a coincidence?

Daddy, can I be?

On no son, that's just dangling out of reach

There's a lineup out the door

Of sons that come before

I'm sorry that I failed you, that I only mopped the floor
