Fucked Up, Lullabye Arkestra - Son of the Father lyrics

[Fucked Up, Lullabye Arkestra - Son of the Father lyrics]

Father, father, come see what I've built
Made civilization out of the Nile silt
Built your monuments out of
My brother's bones
Exalted your words in flesh-bound tomes

It's hard enough being born
In the first place
Who would ever want to be born again?
It's taken this long just to
Get to this place
So what's the point in ever being born again?

Papa, papa, come and watch me play
The whole world before me I laid to waste
Built Jerusalem out of these hidden worlds
But, I won't share it with
The other boys and girls

More embarrassed than I'd hope to admit
The living embodiment of perfect
A reversed Oedipal complex based on power
And not on the sex

Daddy, daddy, are you proud of me?
I did it all for you
Because of what I believe
The sins of he father carried out by the son
From Cain and Abel until the
Last living life is done

Again we stand slack-jawed
As our fates are moved by the hand of God
A God is what we see as
We stare into his Papal eyes
