Crappy dads, this ones for you.

Lyrics

DAD

YOU WERE SUCH A WONDERFUL FATHER
WAIT MY BAD YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO BE A DAD
MY MEMORY IS CONFUSED

I DO RECALL YOU CHUGGING A BOTTLE
YOU WOULD DRINK AND STAGGER AND WOBBLE
I DID THAT SAME THING OF COURSE I WAS 2

AT TIMES YOU WERE SO HARD TO FIND WHEN WE'D PLAY HIDE AND SEEK
YOU'D RUN AND HIDE FROM ALL OF US ONE TIME WE SEARCHED FOR ONE WEEK

WHY WERE WE A PART OF YOUR AGENDA
IF YOU NEVER PLANNED TO EVEN SPEND A
MINUTE WITH US? GIVE ME MORE THAN A SHRUG
GO ON AND DO WHAT YOU DO GRAB YOUR COMFORT AND CHUG

YOU WERE LOST AND NEEDED DIRECTION
STUMBLED ONTO YOUNGER AFFECTION WITH NO REGARD
FOR MY MOTHER BACK HOME

YOUR ARROGANCE IS WHAT GOT YOU BUSTED
LEAVING US ALONE AND DISGUSTED THAT'S MY OLD MAN
WAY TO THINK WITH YOUR DOME
YEAH YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS AND RIPPED THEM OUT OF OUR HOME

YOU STILL TRY TO JUSTIFY PRETEND THIS ISN'T REAL
FYI YOU CAN'T DENY THE SCARS AND SCABS THAT HAVEN'T HEALED

YOU FOUND A WAY TO SLICE UP OUR FUTURE
WIPE THE BLOOD AND PACK UP THE SUTURE
DR. DADDY DO YOUR DAMAGE AND GO

BEFORE YOU HEAD ON BACK TO YOUR NEW LIFE
BRAND NEW KIDS AND THAT SHINY NEW WIFE
THERE'S ONE THING THAT I REALLY MUST KNOW
DO YOU HAVE SOME REGRETS? BECAUSE I'M GUESSING IT'S NO
IT'S GETTING LATE, I PROBABLY SHOULD GO

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A FATHER CAN
TURN HIS BACK ON HIS WIFE AND HIS ONLY SON
DADDY PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW A MAN CAN LEAVE HIS FAMILY

I'M A FATHER WITH MY OWN CHILDREN AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE
ALL THE LESSONS THAT MY DADDY TAUGHT ME

EVERY TIME HE SEES A COLLISION HE'LL PASS ON WITH HIS TUNNEL VISION
ALL HIS LIFE HE'S BEEN REFUSING TO SEE
THAT HE KILLED OUR HOUSE AND LEFT US LOST IN DEBRIS
THE THING THAT I LEARNED FROM YOU
IS WHAT NOT TO BE
