lyrics

You’re at a bar on 8th and parker
All alone except for johnny walker
And isn’t he quite the smooth talker
Planting seeds inside your head

When you’re falling down he starts to meddle
Well isn’t he a silver tongue devil
This feeling is far to primaeval
Kind of reminds you of your old man

Pre Chorus:
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your fate was already predisposed
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your story he already wrote

Chorus

The sins of the father follow the daughter
And he’s the seventh son of a seventh son
Freudian theories all odds against thee
Johnnie got your head against a gun

Now you’re at a club on 5th and abilene
And you can clearly feel it’s not your scene
So out into the dark you leave.
You ended up alone just like he said

You stop by the liq to pick up a friend
Now Johnnie walker is waltzing in
Promises your pain will be put to an end
There’s no more loneliness to dread

Pre Chorus:
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your fate was already predisposed
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your story he already wrote

Chorus

The sins of the father follow the daughter
And he’s the seventh son of a seventh son
Freudian theories all odds against thee
Johnny got your head against a gun

You’re at your flat in downtown
Just like always no ones around
But johnnie is present when it count
It fair to say he’s finally got his way

The hangman’s noose looks appealing
And you’ve got sucked into a daydream
And you believe all that he’s saying
And now the dawn attacks the day

Chorus

The sins of the father follow the daughter
And he’s the seventh son of a seventh son
Freudian theories all odds against thee
Johnnie has got your head against a gun
Feeling emptier than that bottle of scotch whiskey
And this is the song to be sung

outro:

Don’t we all need a vice
Beat him with a stone stab him with a knife
Doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or if it’s right
When you lost the will to live your life
