Father of the World Songtext
von Gumshoes

I once was sure, but that was before
I was younger than my son-in-law
A conman baptist hosed me down
But I promise that I′m holy now

Well it's a long road to perdition
Don′t you know who I am, my children?
I love a good tradition
I'm drunk, drunk driving the pram, my children
On the inside looking out
Saying "this right here's what everything was all about"


Met a model through her father
My semi-honest business partner
We′d sell them lies they were dying to hear
But I tell you, I was semi-sincere!

Now the cook is looking shifty
Don′t you know who I am, my children?
He'll be leaving swiftly
I′m drunk, drunk driving the pram, my children
On the inside looking out
Saying "this right here's what everything was all about"

The promised land is underground
So fall to grandeur, make me proud
Father of the world
