- Just Like My Father LyricsI'm just like my father
But I am much worse
I'm just like my father
But I am much worse
He hurt his mother
I hurt mine worse
I'm just like my brother
But I am much worse
I'm just like my brother
But I am much worse
He hurt his wife
I hurt mine first
Oh, it hurts, it hurts
It hurts to be like Cain
Oh, it hurts, it hurts
It hurts to be like Cain
Ain't no way, I'm not Abel
Y'know what I mean
I'm just like my father
But I am much worse
Oh, I'm just like my father
I am much worse
He hurt my mother
I hurt her worse
Never stop, never stopping
But I am much worse
I'm just like my father
But I am much worse
He hurt his mother
I hurt mine worse
I'm just like my brother
But I am much worse
I'm just like my brother
But I am much worse
He hurt his wife
I hurt mine first
Oh, it hurts, it hurts
Oh, it hurts, it hurts
It hurts to be like Cain
Ain't no way, I'm not Abel
Y'know what I mean
I'm just like my father
But I am much worse
Oh, I'm just like my father
I am much worse
He hurt my mother
I hurt her worse
Never stop, never stopping
