the alarm - father to son lyrics
(one, two, three, four)
my father said “son, now my life’s work is done
there’s a future for you, there’s a job to be done
stop fighting the system ’cause the system won’t break
get your hair cut boy and learn from my mistakes”
now i said to my father “father give me a break
there’s a million more chances that i’m bom to take
i don’t want to die like i saw you die
in a dead end job in a dead end way”
how many years must i waste in these black times
how many years must i waste
today i can’t find nothing nowhere
tomorrow i might find something somewhere
give me a future now
i need it so badly now
oh for tomorrow
“these are times of recession” father said unto me
“don’t you leave now my son, you’ll break our family”
i said, “i’ve got ideas that i cannot deny
if i stay i’ll be killed by the dreams on my mind.”
how many years must i waste in these black times
how many years must i waste
today i can’t find nothing nowhere
tomorrow i might find something somewhere
give me a future now
i need it so badly now
oh for tomorrow
i see the signs of black times everywhere i run
i can’t can’t escape them
no matter how hard i try
i see these signs of black time everywhere i run
i can’t stand another day
i gotta move away
i gotta move away
today i can’t find nothing nowhere
tomorrow i might find something somewhere
give me a future now
i need it so badly now
oh for tomorrow
oh for tomorrow
