Dear son, it's your old man
And I suppose you're still pretty mad
But can't you just forget and forgive?
Forget all the years that I was smoking drugs
When I sold every bit of your stuff
You weren't even thirteen, how long can you possibly hold a grudge?
I hope your mother's doing fine
I'd like to talk to her some time
You said that I beat her but you just can't trust the memories of a kid
Remember when you were about nine?
When I was posing as a girl online?
And I told you if you grew up gay, I'd disown you? And that's true...
But how can you stay so mad at your loving, dear old dad?
Can't a man start over without having to apologize?
I got over it, now it's your turn
I spent a lot of your life in jail
The rape charges raised up my bail
But she was asking for it and I know because I paid her in full
You and your mother did me wrong
You moved out and you took the dogs
And I can deal with you leaving, but it's so fucked up how you took my pit bull
But how can you stay so mad at your loving, dear old dad?
Can't a man start over without having to apologize?
I got over it, now it's your turn
I got over it, now it's your turn
Certain people want me dead
And son, I hear you're one of them
And If it's true I'm gonna get all my biker friends together to kick your ass
I'm gonna call them up
And say "We've gotta beat up my son
Cause he's mad that I ruined the entire first half of his life"
Know what?
I'm gonna start a website where I'm gonna say you died
To get sympathy from teenage girls that meet offline
And I can pretend I'm 35 and that I play guitar alright
Then I'll put up demos by the guy from Staind and say that they are mine
But how can you stay so mad at your loving, dear old dad?
Can't a man start over without having to apologize?
How can you and your mom say that I did you so wrong?
Can't a man start over without having to apologize?
I got over it, now it's your turn
I got over it, now it's your turn
And I suppose you're still pretty mad
But can't you just forget and forgive?
Forget all the years that I was smoking drugs
When I sold every bit of your stuff
You weren't even thirteen, how long can you possibly hold a grudge?
I hope your mother's doing fine
I'd like to talk to her some time
You said that I beat her but you just can't trust the memories of a kid
Remember when you were about nine?
