Like Father, Like Son

Ministers
Like father, like son
Like father, like son

Zoser
Don't come on so cocksure boy
You can't escape your genes
No point in feeling pure boy
Your background intervenes

Listen good and listen straight You're not the master of your fate To this you must be reconciled You'll always be your father's child At times acclaimed, at times reviled You'll wind up doing just what I've done Like father, like son

Ministers Son

Radames Don't assume your vices Get handed down the line That a parent's blood suffices To condemn the child's design I've done wrong I can't deny But at least I know that I I Shouldn't blame that on my stock Well this may come as quite a shock But I'm no chip off any block I wouldn't wish those words on anyone: Like father, like son

Ministers Son

Zoser
Son, you're nervous, take my hand
All is settled, all is planned
You've got the world at your command
I don't think you understand

Radames
I appreciate too well
The squalor at which you excel
It isn't very hard to tell
Evil's a distinctive smell

Zoser
He's lost all sense of reason
And why? Some foreign slut
No only it that treason
Some doors are slamming shut

Just like me he's found that flesh
Can excite but will enmesh

Once we rid him of this blight Once that harlot's out of sight Then I think he'll see the light He won't walk back to daddy he will run! Like father like son

Ministers Son

Zoser and Ministers
Like father like son
Like father like son
Like father like
