Lyrics
Daddys boy, he's all grown up now. Going out on his own. Daddys boy, he's all grown up now. The future's unknown. Hes gotta make his way out from beneath the large shadow that his old man casts. But thats so hard to do when that shadow just keeps continuing to expand. Daddys boys, he wanders through life now. Not so sure where to go. But he sure likes that high mountain air, now. The sweet smell of the snow. Taking comfort from fine bottled potions and going through the motions of life. He skipped so many weekends. Nobody remembers him. It was one hell of a binge. Now juniors got his eyes on a brand new gig. Its time for daddy to call some old favors in. Something keeps knawing inside him, while he's knawing on his silver spoon. Perseptions, all, must be laid to rest. He's gotta prove that he's got nothing to prove. Time for junior to stop playing games now, Americas past-time. So daddys boy, he all sobered up now. 'Got a different state on his mind. Admissions testing was heavy on math, so he brought little brother in to help him count. The family buisness slipped into his hands, he stole the keys to dear old daddys old house. Got some loose ends just dangling here. Yeah, juniors got some unfinished buisness to clear. Haven't we tried this before with some Hollywood refugee. The last time we all were here, nothing ever trickled down to me. Out of the fire and the blood and all the tears of our collective grief. He passed up the path of duty. Took the road of opportunity. Daddys boy stumbled straight to the top, now he's the big kid on the block. Sure likes to show all the neighborhood kids all the big, cool toys hes got. When the other children don't play by his rules, you know little junior, he'll get fighting mad. He'll draw a line in the play-box sand. He'll break their toys, make them cry if he can. Cause this time he's determined to win. He's gotta cast a larger shadow than his old man did. You're with him or you're against him. Theres no room for questioning. He'll provide some security in exchange for some liberty. You'd better watch what you think, do, or say 'cause things, they ain't the same here anymore. He's gonna bring back the good old days, like back in 1984. Somethings still knawing inside him and he don't know what it is he should do. Poor little juniors come all this way and hes still got something to prove. Still got something to prove......
