About the Artist
Lyrics
Father, father, come see what I've built Made civilization out of the Nile silt Built your monuments out of my brother's bones Exalted your words in flesh-bound tomes It's hard enough being born in the first place Who would ever want to be born again? It's taken this long just to get to this place So what's the point in ever being born again? Papa, papa, come and watch me play The whole world before me I laid to waste Built Jerusalem out of these hidden worlds But I won't share it with the other boys and girls It's hard enough being born in the first place Who would ever want to be born again? It's taken this long just to get to this place So what's the point in ever being born again? More embarrassed than I'd hope to admit The living embodiment of perfect A reversed Oedipal complex Based on power and not on the sex Daddy, daddy, are you proud of me? I did it all for you because of what I believe The sins of the father carried out by the son From Cain and Abel until the last living life is done It's hard enough being born in the first place Who would ever want to be born again? It's taken this long just to get to this place So what's the point in ever being born again? Again we stand slack-jawed As our fates are moved by the hand of God, of God, of God, of God, of God A God is what we see As we stare into his Papal eyes
