Nation Of 1 – Hey Dad lyrics

"Hey Dad"

Hey Dad, where you been for so long?
Why won't you look at me?
Is there something wrong?

Do you remember me, the son that you conceived?
Why won't you look at me?
A son that you deceived.

Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew.
A man I cannot miss.

I gave you many chances, many that you took.
And now I stand before you,
You won't even look.

How can we start all over when we never began?
How can you be a father,
When you're not even a man?

Why do you play these games?
That are in my head
You said you'd love me dearly,
But it looks like he's dead.

Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew.
A man I cannot miss.

How can we start all over when we never began?
How can you be a father,
When you're not even a man?

Why do you play these games?
That are in my head
You said you'd love me dearly,
But it looks like he's dead. (hey dad, hey dad)

So then came kids of my own.
I was there for them.
I am the man you couldn't be. (I didn't learn from him.)

Where he is, I don't even know at all.
I don't even remember,
The last time he called.

How can we start all over when we never began?
How can you be a father,
When you're not even a man?

Why do you play these games?
That are in my head
You said you'd love me dearly,
But it looks like he's dead.

Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew.
A man I cannot miss.

How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
Hey Dad.
