Sad Son of Blue

Daddy used to go to work
With a frown on his face and a truckload of hurt
He'd return just like a ghost
Satisfaction the reluctant host

He was born without a chance
To follow the footsteps of a stale romance
Earn his living underground
Chained like a minstrel to earn his pound

You're a sad son of blue
Just like your father too
You're a sad son of blue
You're not taking me too

Born to burn up every goal
Channel your dreams into that hole
Try to build a masterplan
But there's no room in this town to expand
He was told to stay at home
His way of life cut off like a phone
Now daddy always stays indoors
Falling prey to the unwritten laws

You're a sad son of blue
Just like your father too
You're a sad son of blue
You're not taking me too

What has the doctor ordered here?
After 18 years of living fear
To paint the building perfect blue
Follow the religion of the chosen few
Daddy used to work with pride
With a truckload of hurt that he'd always hide
Now the pain shows on his face
He can't hide his own disgrace

You're a sad son of blue
Just like your father too
You're a sad son of blue
You're not taking me too

Sad son of blue
Sad son of blue
Sad son of blue
