Lyrics

[Verse 1] I come from a genius and I am my father's son Yeah, too bad he was a psychopath and now I'm the next in line Then there's dear mother, yeah, surely she's a work of art Mm, I never got top dollar, but she gave us all our start [Chorus 1] Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool drownin' me Can I beg a release? I'm a volunteer amputee From the moment I fail, I call on DNA Why such betrayal got me tooth and nail [Verse 2] Yeah, how's about one conversation with nothing else left to be had Oh, with this, your young long lost son, and his never had dear old dad I forget the insemination and for that I'm supposed to be glad? What a pity, you left us so soon to climb your mountain of regret [Chorus 2] Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool dark and deep Can I beg a release? Can I volunteer amputee? From the moment I fell, I called on DNA Why such betrayal? Oh, I gotta set sail [Post-Chorus] (Ooh) (Ooh) [Bridge] All real bright light shinin' as you're tryin' to breathe in thin air Cannot forget you're hidin' collected wounds left unhealed When every thought you're thinkin' sinks you darker than the new moon sky The far away lights risin' in the whites of your eyes [Vese 3] Now, Father, you're dead and gone and I'm finally free to be me Thanks for all your fucked-up gifts for which I got no sympathy Oh, I'm livin' in a war torn place, hear the bombs, a fifth symphony Thanks for this and thanks for that, I gotta let go legacy [Chorus 3] Can I get a reprieve? This gene pool drownin' me Can I beg a release? Can I volunteer amputee? From the moment I fell, I called on DNA Why such betrayal, oh, I gotta set sail [Post-Chorus] (Ooh) Yeah, yeah
