Pressure every where I go
Will I succeed or have nothing to show?

I don't want to fail in my fathers eyes
The look he gives when he is betrayed  inside

Father tells me to be a recruit
I don't want to be one of the man coming home like a zombiefied stoop

He  says money will make you happy
But if he really knew poetry makes me happy

He doesn't think English is a good major
So I might join the army and do him a favor

Father doesn't know I will live life in regret
If I make him proud he wont sense that im upset

Father just wants the best for me
He doesn't realize that I only know whats the best for me

Should I live an unhappy life and fight?
Or should I stay and live a regular life?

Father wants me over seas
I want to be between my love ones knees

Father says have a career in the army
Im on the path to have a wife and a family

He says women come and go
I only want one woman and I want her to stay for good

He says you will see the world
But I might have to **** innocent souls

What father wants is usually what father gets
So what should change with this show
