[bodytext] => Why does he lie to us?
To me? Why does he think that he has to hide Away our money So that bills Can't be paid? And that the extra money for all of us Can't be saved? Doesn't he realize I have to go to college In just one more year? Oh, that's right, because I want to be something Other that a doctor my dad won't pay, won't shed a tear As I have to work a full time job to put myself Through school, You know as I grow older I realize That my Dad is just a fool. He wants me to conform to his ways, But I have always broken the mold, He requires that I be perfect But I've never been able to be told How to act, Or how to express what they want me to say, I have always, somehow, Just made my own way. He thinks that my writing is silly, And that becoming a "shrink" won't pay my bills, Well, I have news for him, At least doing something I love will Keep me happy, Let me do something that I adore, I don't want to be the one always out there searching For just a "little" bit more. My life has never revolved around success, And at least I've always told the truth, The only thing that I've gotten from my father Is what there is not to do.
