ApologetiX - Bad Dad lyrics
[ApologetiX - Bad Dad lyrics]
Where was your father when you need him most?
He picks up and leaves and
There's bad things he does
You tell me your bloodline's made that way
You tell me your dad has gone astray
And you don't feel like carryin' on
You're stranded in life 'cause of
Him and you know
You figure that now there's a
Curse on your soul
You tell me you'd like me to change your mind
Read all of Ezekiel 18 and find
The child don't need to bear the brunt
'Cause you had a bad dad - so, baby
What now? Who said your dad's son just
Can't turn it around?
In case you don't know - I'll
Show you a couple guys
The worst in the Bible -
But the kids were alright
You had a bad break - your family's gone awry
But calm it back down, baby, really
Don't cry
You have a better fate - You gotta have faith
Well, you need to cruise by Psalms today
The 27th chapter - what's it say
When dad don't seem to care at all?
'Cause you had a bad dad - so, baby
What now? Who said your dad's son just
Can't turn it around?
In ages long ago - King Ahaz was a guy
Who's worthless and vile -
But he had Hezekiah
And after that day, King Amon arrived
He brought a black cloud but
His kid was Josiah
Who brought a better day (oh, follow me)
Second Kings 16 through 23 shows you
How things can turn around
King Ahaz and Amon were bad to the bone
But they had the most righteous sons
To be on the throne yeah
So where was your daddy when
You needed him most? Oh, you know what?
You need to believe in a Dad you can trust
'Cause you had a bad dad - so, baby
What now? Who said your dad's son can't
Just turn it around?
In Second Chronicles 28 through 35
Ahaz was reviled but they loved Hezekiah
And how about Amon - he was despised
But, how they revered his son Josiah
He had a better fate - you gotta have faith
You gotta have faith
He picks up and leaves and
There's bad things he does
You tell me your bloodline's made that way
You tell me your dad has gone astray
And you don't feel like carryin' on
You're stranded in life 'cause of
Him and you know
You figure that now there's a
Curse on your soul
You tell me you'd like me to change your mind
Read all of Ezekiel 18 and find
The child don't need to bear the brunt
'Cause you had a bad dad - so, baby
What now? Who said your dad's son just
Can't turn it around?
In case you don't know - I'll
Show you a couple guys
The worst in the Bible -
But the kids were alright
You had a bad break - your family's gone awry
But calm it back down, baby, really
