Searching For A Father

[00:10.06] When I was young, I heard my dad say
[00:16.59] "Son, I'm leaving now."
[00:20.47] And he said "Other men do as other men please
[00:24.89] And Aldous is the name with which I leave you."
[00:31.84] And here I am
[00:36.30] While all around me things become hysterical
[00:42.31] Here I stand
[00:44.29] Beneath the robes of Lady Liberty
[00:48.21] Searching for a father in America
[00:52.92] Searching for a father in America.
[01:02.10] I was sixteen
[01:04.93] I took a trip
[01:07.65] To Washington, D.C.
[01:10.50] Just my mom and me
[01:13.02] Saw the reflecting pool
[01:15.02] And the Capitol
[01:19.05] A guy wanked off at the Vietnam Memorial.
[01:23.82] Here I am
[01:29.56] Staring at a canyon quite deadly
[01:33.90] Here I stand
[01:36.29] Baptised beneath the falls of Niagra
[01:39.85] Searching for a father in America
[01:45.08] Searching for a father in America.
[01:55.29] Number one: George Washington
[01:57.95] Lost his dad when he was one
[02:00.14] Jimmy Carter made himself a son of wood
[02:02.94] But like Pinocchio
[02:04.14] He weren't very good
[02:05.64] Lincoln, shot by his son
[02:07.68] In the theater, up his bum
[02:10.44] Nixon he had no son
[02:13.21] Too late, his own son was Watergate
[02:15.87] Ronald Reagan, he got shot
[02:18.82] For Jodie Foster, quite a lot
[02:20.52] Nancy, stupid cow
[02:24.04] He can't remember her no more, yeah.
[02:27.66] America.
[02:29.77] When I am old
[02:33.89] I'll find my dad
[02:37.28] They'll recreate his body from my DNA
[02:42.62] And I'll say "Other men do as other men please
[02:48.32] And Aldous is the name with which I grieve."
[02:53.58] And now,
[02:55.08] Here I am
[02:57.80] Seeking my redemption in this heathen land
[03:02.90] Here I stand
[03:05.46] Amidst the stars and stripes and scientists
[03:09.63] Searching for a father in America
[03:15.06] Searching for a father in America
[03:24.82] I am my own father
[03:27.05] I gave birth to me, yeah
[03:41.65]
