Old Boy

I decided to make a song about my family, mainly my father,
as I have never payed much homage to them through music.

Written, composed, produced,
mixed & mastered by:Kabal
for Midian Music(c)2015
Contains samples from the song:
"Old Man" by Neil Young

lyrics

"Old Boy"

(V1.)
He was just a young man, when he graduated,
Football & basketball left his knees aggravated/
Drafting blue prints, architect meets art,
And falls in love with his high school sweet heart/
From the start they conceived under a woolen cover,
So he does the right thing and makes an honest woman of her/
City Hall, for this joyous occasion,
His own parents never came because she was a Caucasian/
Stubborn Greek Orthodox, living in a paradox,
Moved into a humble apartment, but still be sharing socks/
Making ends meet any way they can to pay,
Until there daughter is born, now it's a brand new day/
Relocate from the city to the burbs in a town house,
His gorgeous baby girl and his night gowned spouse/
Who's got another in the oven, then the stork flys in,
He looks into his new born son's eyes and sings.../

(Chorus)
Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you (X2)
Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were...

(V2.)
Sacrifices made for the greatness of the cause,
Fear & loathing of his fate, now that his life is on pause/
Giving everything and getting nothing in return,
Filling with resentment and he grows to be stern/
Slaving 9-5 for another 20 years,
Fading on the drive home with 24 beers/
Doesn't even greet his family, eats his dinner in silence,
Commutes to the chesterfield and television violence/
Chain smoking cigarettes, mad man, couch slouch,
Only opens up to put the bottle to his grouch mouth/
On his days off, up before the sun was,
Takes his son to his hockey game,
that's where his only fun was/
Treat the family but generally tight & thrifty,
Had a couple heart attacks and then retired at 50/
We were never really close, acting out to spite you,
But it all makes sense now that your old boy is a Dad like you/

(Chorus)
Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you (X2)
Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were...
