lirik lagu the journeymen - heredity-environment
[chorus]
environment, environment
the tree will grow as the twig is bent
a theory, i’ve heard of it
but i don’t believe a word of it
[verse 1]
my father grew up helter~skelter
his childhood was ragged and rough
of clothing and vittles and shelter
he never had nearly enough
[verse 2]
he might have grown up a malfeasant
a scoundrel who gambled and drank
but he grew up honest and decent
although his environment stank
[verse 3]
he married my virtuous mother
a lady as n0ble as he
in time she gave birth to none other
than good old unscrupulous me
[chorus]
environment, environment
the tree will grow as the twig is bent
a theory, i’ve heard of it
but i don’t believe a word of it
[verse 4]
my father’s so meek that it’s criminal
incredibly gentle and mild
to hear him hum hymns from a hymnal
you’d never believe i’m his child
[verse 5]
no matter how far you may go back
our family tree does us proud
i can’t very well be a throwback
there isn’t a bum in the crowd
[verse 6]
great grandpa was bashful and sober
great grandma was pure as a shrine
thank god for one crazy october
for that was the end of a line
[chorus]
environment, environment
the tree will grow as the twig is bent
a theory, i’ve heard of it
but i don’t believe a word of it
[verse 7]
they raised me with love and devotion
environment simply divine
between them they haven’t a notion
how i could grow up such a swine
[verse 8]
environment, heredity
a man can be what he wants to be
be firm, be calm, be sensible
and you too can be reprehensible!
