 Struggling with Dad? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Dad did not choose the life he got 
He was not happy with his lot 
His own mom bound to his sick dad 
He did the best with what he had 
Learnt life was cruel; always taking 
Learnt rules were subject to breaking 
Lost his accent, and gained some degrees 
Started writing poetry 

An angry boy becomes an angry man 
The life he lived, not the life he planned 
A compromise: that withered, ugly thing 
All symbolised within a wedding ring 

Thought that his words might make the grade 
To one day be published on the page 
Turned out that he was far better 
Piling up rejection letters 
The failed writer's focus went to sorting 
Once writing books became thwarting 
The Oxford qualified grammarian 
Became instead a librarian 

In the shelves he fucked frustration away 
With different women, on different days 
Like Jagger once said, no satisfaction 
But at least sex offered him distraction 

Yet even when he finally found romance 
Dad could not keep it in his pants 
And when he said "I do", in his heart he knew 
The vows that he'd made would not stay true
