lyrics

Since the beginning of time
Us Dads have hidden our emotions
Concealed what’s up in our minds cause we’re
Thinking about important secret stuff like "where should I hang this bike rack"

But we’ve noticed a sudden change
The world’s just not same as the way it was
We’re confused but we’re taking a stand
Cause they’re trying to take our lives away!

But a Dad has rights
To own a very practical fleecie
In seven different shades of the same cut
It’s just much simpler when the decisions
made for you in the morning,
Isn’t it Martin?

To own a little foldable camping chair
And verbally commend it’s ergonomic design
To literally anyone who will listen
It’s just a very solid bit of kit for price point!

Stop, times are changing, and we have to too
So us Dads are rebranding as woke cause
We’ve absorbed other points of view,
And realised white dads cannot be our only focus

Uncles also have rights
To a little plastic pouch for the airport
Containing printouts of our flight itinerary
Its Printed straight out from the website
Covered in HTML code and barely legible

To spend the bare minimum of effort
On remembering the names of our children’s friends
Despite having known them for twelve years
it’s great to see you, Colin or Simon
How’s the job going in sales and/or marketing?

Things were better in the olden days
Why did everything have to change?
Take me back to catch just one last look at that golden haze
When little children were still beaten
When typhoid fever filled the streets and medicine
Was a cup of gin full of opiates
God I miss those days

So I invoke my rights

To be difficult to buy stuff at Christmas
I end up receiving three of the exact same gift
Jokes on them cause I love ancient History
I will read all three and compare the editions!

Found this through my poor Spotify trying desperately to find what I might like to listen to. Not at all my normal type of music but it actually made me stop and listen. Delightful from beginning to end. It's gone onto my DAP to become part of my normal rotation of music. vonvanna
