 THE WHO - The Punk And The Godfather Lyrics

[PUNK:]
i16s442k1311722rss9
You declared you would be three inches taller
i16s442k1311722rss9
You only became what we made you.
i16s442k1311722rss9
Thought you were chasing a destiny calling
i16s442k1311722rss9
You only earned what we gave you.
i16s442k1311722rss9
You fell and cried as our people were starving,
i16s442k1311722rss9
Now you know that we blame you.
i16s442k1311722rss9
You tried to walk on the trail we were carving,
i16s442k1311722rss9
Now you know that we framed you.
i16s442k1311722rss9

i16s442k1311722rss9
[G.F.:]
i16s442k1311722rss9
I'm the guy in the sky
i16s442k1311722rss9
Flying high Flashing eyes
i16s442k1311722rss9
No surprise I told lies
i16s442k1311722rss9
I'm the punk in the gutter
i16s442k1311722rss9
I'm the new president
i16s442k1311722rss9
But I grew and I bent
i16s442k1311722rss9
Don't you know? don't it show?
i16s442k1311722rss9
I'm the punk with the stutter.
i16s442k1311722rss9
My my my my my mmmm my my my.
i16s442k1311722rss9

i16s442k1311722rss9
GGGGG-g-g-g-g generation.
i16s442k1311722rss9

i16s442k1311722rss9
[PUNK:]
i16s442k1311722rss9
We tried to speak between lines of oration
i16s442k1311722rss9
You could only repeat what we told you.
i16s442k1311722rss9
Your axe belongs to a dying nation,
i16s442k1311722rss9
They don't know that we own you.
i16s442k1311722rss9
You're watching movies trying to find the feelers,
i16s442k1311722rss9
You only see what we show you.
i16s442k1311722rss9
We're the slaves of the phony leaders
i16s442k1311722rss9
Breathe the air we have blown you.
i16s442k1311722rss9

i16s442k1311722rss9
[G.F.:]
i16s442k1311722rss9
I'm the guy [etc.]
i16s442k1311722rss9

i16s442k1311722rss9
I have to be careful not to preach
i16s442k1311722rss9
I can't pretend that I can teach,
i16s442k1311722rss9
And yet I've lived your future out
i16s442k1311722rss9
By pounding stages like a clown.
i16s442k1311722rss9
And on the dance floor broken glass,
i16s442k1311722rss9
The bloody faces slowly pass,
i16s442k1311722rss9
The broken seats in empty rows,
i16s442k1311722rss9
It all belongs to me you know.
i16s442k1311722rss9

i16s442k1311722rss9
[PUNK:]
i16s442k1311722rss9
You declared [etc.]
i16s442k1311722rss9
