1
Well the sun comes up and you stare your cup of coffee, yup
2
Right through the kitchen floor
3
You feel like hell so you might as well get out and sell
4
Your smart ass door to door
5
And the Mrs. wears her robe slightly undone
6
As your daughter dumps her oatmeal on your son
7
And you keep it hid
8
Just like your did
9
So you go to work just to watch some jerk
10
Pick up the perks
11
You were in line to get
12
And the guy that hired you just got fired,
13
Your job's expired
14
They just ain't told you yet
15
So you go and buy a brand new set of wheels
16
To show your family just how great you feel
17
Acting like a kid
18
Just like your dad did
19
And

BRIDGE:
21
You're a chip off the old block
22
Why does it come as such a shock
23
That every road up which you rock
24
Your dad already did
25
Yeah you've seen the old man's ghost
26
Come back as creamed chipped beef on toast
27
Now if you dont get your slice of the roast
28
You're gonna flip your lid
29
Just like your dad did, just like your dad did
30
Well the day was long now, supper's on
31
The thrill is gone
32
But something's taking place
33
Yeah the food is cold and your wife feels old
34
But all hands fold
35
As the two year old says grace
36
She says help the starving children to get well
37
But let my brother's hamster burn in hell
38
You love your wife and kids
39
Just like your dad did
