Right through the kitchen floor
You feel like hell so you might as well get out and sell
Your smart ass door to door
And the mrs. Wears her robe slightly undone
As your daughter dumps her oatmeal on your son
And you keep it hid
Just like your did
So you go to work just to watch some jerk
Pick up the perks
You were in line to get
And the guy that hired you just got fired,
Your job's expired
They just ain't told you yet
So you go and buy a brand new set of wheels
To show your family just how great you feel
Acting like a kid
Just like your dad did
And
Bridge:
You're a chip off the old block
Why does it come as such a shock
That every road up which you rock
Your dad already did
Yeah you've seen the old man's ghost
Come back as creamed chipped beef on toast
Now if you don't get your slice of the roast
You're gonna flip your lid
Just like your dad did, just like your dad did
Well the day was long now, supper's on
The thrill is gone
But something's taking place
Yeah the food is cold and your wife feels old
But all hands fold
As the two year old says grace
She says help the starving children to get well
But let my brother's hamster burn in hell
You love your wife and kids
Just like your dad did
Well the sun comes up and you stare your cup of coffee, yup Right through the kitchen floor You feel like hell so you might as well get out and sell Your smart ass door to door And the mrs. Wears her robe slightly undone As your daughter dumps her oatmeal on your son And you keep it hid Just like your did So you go to work just to watch some jerk Pick up the perks You were in line to get And the guy that hired you just got fired, Your job's expired They just ain't told you yet So you go and buy a brand new set of wheels To show your family just how great you feel Acting like a kid Just like your dad did And Bridge: You're a chip off the old block Why does it come as such a shock That every road up which you rock Your dad already did Yeah you've seen the old man's ghost Come back as creamed chipped beef on toast Now if you don't get your slice of the roast You're gonna flip your lid Just like your dad did, just like your dad did Well the day was long now, supper's on The thrill is gone But something's taking place Yeah the food is cold and your wife feels old But all hands fold As the two year old says grace She says help the starving children to get well But let my brother's hamster burn in hell You love your wife and kids Just like your dad did Explain Request ×
