My mother told me that I'm no shooting star

I ain't got money but I'm good at guitar

So she says, "my only son but disappointing to far"

And you're no son of mine

Yea you're no son of mine

My father told me to become my own man

I haven't yet but do the best that I can

So he says, "you'll never make it so come up with a plan"

And you're no son of mine

Yea you're no son of mine

First born is a saint, second born is a waste

Child of my flesh, you failed the test

Go and leave us be, change your name for me

Can't you read the signs? No son of mine

My folks, they help me, they tell me what to do

I'm always thinking but I don't think things through

So they say, "I wish we had a better child than you"

And you're no son of mine

Yea you're no son of mine
