His Father's Son

from Pining For The Road (2012) by Wisecrack

/

about

This is a concept song about a young boy born into a conservative family, and his father is, in fact, a police offi....pig.
He grows up, finds his feet and decides he's not cut out for the life his dad has set out for him and leaves home.

On his travels he meets some nice lefties. Some hippies, some punks and some people who just enjoy freedom.

AND THEN DISASTER! Something terrible happens in the UK where poor people are being punished for what they believe in, rich people are given more rights than they can shake a prostitute at and well, everyone is fucked off.

The young lad, like so many others, fights against fascism in the streets of the country he would otherwise be proud of if it wasn't an embarrassment.

And when confronted with his father behind a riot shield, both parties stop and stare eachother in the eye and truly believe they're both right.

The rest is history...
