lirik lagu infant sorrow – searching for a father
when i was young, i heard my dad say
“son, i’m leaving now.”
and he said “other men do as other men please
and aldous is the name with which i leave you.”
and here i am
while all around me things become hysterical
here i stand
beneath the robes of lady liberty
searching for a father in america
searching for a father in america.
i was sixteen
i took a trip
to washington, d.c.
just my mom and me
saw the reflecting pool
and the capitol
a guy w-nked off at the vietnam memorial.
here i am
staring at a canyon quite deadly
here i stand
baptised beneath the falls of niagra
searching for a father in america
searching for a father in america.
number one: george washington
lost his dad when he was one
jimmy carter made himself a son of wood
but like pinocchio
he weren’t very good
lincoln, shot by his son
in the theater, up his b-m
nixon he had no son
too late, his own son was watergate
ronald reagan, he got shot
for jodie foster, quite a lot
nancy, stupid cow
he can’t remember her no more, yeah.
america.
when i am old
i’ll find my dad
they’ll recreate his body from my dna
and i’ll say “other men do as other men please
and aldous is the name with which i grieve.”
and now,
here i am
seeking my redemption in this heathen land
here i stand
amidst the stars and stripes and scientists
searching for a father in america
searching for a father in america
i am my own father
i gave birth to me, yeah
