Bad Dad (Parody of "Bad Day") - ApologetiX

Where was your father when you need him most?

He picks up and leaves and there’s bad things he does

You tell me your bloodline’s made that way

You tell me your dad has gone astray

And you don’t feel like carryin' on

You’re stranded in life 'cause of him and you know

You figure that now there’s a curse on your soul

You tell me you’d like me to change your mind

Read all of Ezekiel 18 and find

The child don’t need to bear the brunt

'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now?

Who said your dad’s son just can’t turn it around?

In case you don’t know -- I’ll show you a couple guys

The worst in the Bible -- but the kids were alright

You had a bad break -- your family’s gone awry

But calm it back down, baby, really, don’t cry

You have a better fate -- You gotta have faith

Well, you need to cruise by Psalms today

The 27th chapter -- what’s it say

When dad don’t seem to care at all?

'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now?

Who said your dad’s son just can’t turn it around?

In ages long ago -- King Ahaz was a guy

Who’s worthless and vile -- but he had Hezekiah

And after that day, King Amon arrived

He brought a black cloud but his kid was Josiah

Who brought a better day (oh, follow me)

Second Kings 16 through 23 shows you how things can turn around

King Ahaz and Amon were bad to the bone

But they had the most righteous sons to be on the throne

Yeah

So where was your daddy when you needed him most?

Oh, you know what?

You need to believe in a Dad you can trust

'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now?

Who said your dad’s son can’t just turn it around?

In Second Chronicles 28 through 35

Ahaz was reviled but they loved Hezekiah

And how about Amon -- he was despised

But, how they revered his son Josiah

He had a better fate -- you gotta have faith

You gotta have faith
