lyrics

My idiot son believes in
Degenerate son believes in x2
Nothing
He hardly ever questions
One single thing
But now he's getting restless
My idiot boy he asks me
Is having no children a sign of immaturity?
Degenerate son
Idiot boy
Oh who'd have his life now?
Turns up on my doorstep
After ten years off absence
And asks me if I can make him a sandwich
He thinks he's got a licence to
Act like some kind of holy fool
And are his insights ever going to move you?
His attitude needs adjusting
He's boring and complaining
Won't circumstances force him to see
His opinions mean nothing
Degenerate son
Gold-plated tin
Oh I've got his life now
...
Sadly
In the mirror
We are identical
It's a cop-out, but
I look at him
And we are one and the same
And we cry, oh we cry
Won't you give us something new
But not too new
...
He's gullible but scornful
And his laughter is defensive
And you'd better watch out for his sex drive
It's quite ugly
Because we can't delay our pleasure
And we want to keep on pushing
The big red button
etc
