Lyrics

[STONEY]

Hey, Dad! Look! Yeah, yeah, yeah look, look, Dad! Ouch.

[OBSIDEAN]

We’ve got a lot of work to do. Let’s start small.

A FATHER’S JOB IS TO TEACH HIS BOY
AND MAKE SURE HE’S VERY SKILLED
TO SURVIVE THE COLD AND FIND FOOD TO EAT
AND IN THE PROCESS NOT GET KILLED

[STONEY]

Ouch! That is sharp.

[OBSIDEAN]

A FATHER’S JOB IS TO TEACH HIS BOY
TO BE SENSITIVE YET STILL STRONG
TO HONE HIS RUNNING SKILLS
WITH SOME CHASING DRILLS
FOR THE NEXT HERD THAT COMES ALONG

SEVENTEEN, CAN’T USE A CLUB
OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR
I MUST STEP UP
AND TRAIN THIS PUP
TO HUNT AND FISH AND, ‘SPEAR’-

[STONEY]

Ouch! That’s sharp! Hey Dad, I’m hungry.

[OBSIDEAN]

Oh yeah? Me too! Why don’t you go collect some berries for supper. A herbivore. Whatever did I do?

A FATHER’S JOB
IS TO TEACH HIS KID
WHEN TO RUN AND WHEN TO FIGHT
AND MAKE SURE HIS WIFE
IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
DOESN’T VENTURE OUT OF SIGHT

HE WAS YOUNG WHEN SHE LEFT US
MY DEAR, MY DEAR, MY DEAR
SO FOR HER I’LL RAISE HIM WELL
AND PROUD SHE’D BE TO HEAR

I’VE RAISED HIM TO BE SMART LIKE HER
FULL OF GRACE AND HEART LIKE HER
I’VE RAISED HIM TO BE KIND AND WISE AND STRONG LIKE HER

A FATHER’S JOB
IS TO TEACH HIS BOY
BE AWARE THE SENSES STRAY

[STONEY]

Where am I?

[OBSIDEAN]

GET TO HIGHER GROUND
WHEN THE RAINS ABOUND
SO YOU’RE NEVER WASHED AWAY
