FROM NOAH (10/11/17):
I’ve thought a lot about the Pop Oracle’s reading, and I think I am more open to getting a dog now. “Dad, Sit Down” is a song about accepting your true self and being able to share that with your loved ones. The song is about the protagonist making a big decision to go forward in doing something difficult. That’s inspiring — it encourages me to do the same. Definitely pushes me more in that direction.
LYRICS:
DAD, SIT DOWN

DAD SIT DOWN
I MET HIM IN A RESTAURANT

I TALKED TO A TRANSVESTITE

AND SHE TOLD ME WHERE HE WORKED
D E A
DAD SIT DOWN

A E
TO CHANGE THE WAY I LOVE

I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD
E
WHEN I STARTED PLAYING ROUGH
D E A
GIRLS WERE SCARCE
AND WE WERE SCARED
WHEN WE COVERED UP OUR LOVE FOR THEM
OUR LUST FOR US WAS BARED
I SUPPOSE THOSE FEELINGS STUCK
I GUESS THEY WERE ALWAYS THERE
I MADE HIM DO BAD THINGS
I MADE HIM BE MY SLAVE
THEN I WOULD PUNISH HIM
WHEN HE MISBEHAVED
THEN HE AND I WOULD SWITCH
CUZ IT WAS ALL JUST A GAME
DAD SIT DOWN
DON’T STAND UP FOR ALL THOSE THINGS YOU STOOD BEFORE

DON’T STAND UP FOR ANY OF THAT BULLSHIT ANYMORE
DON’T STAND UP LOOK THERE’S A NICE CHAIR I FOUND
DAD SIT DOWN
WELL I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD TELL YOU DAD
CUZ YOU’RE GETTING KINDA OLD
AND THERE’S NOT A LOT OF SHARED WITH YOU
NOT A LOT I’VE TOLD
BUT NOW THAT I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
I THINK I MAY HAVE BEEN TOO BOLD
I WILL DEFEND EVERY DREAM YOU HAVE
I WILL DEFEND EVERY TRUTH
I WILL DEFEND EVERY LIE IF I HAVE TO
I WILL DEFEND
I WILL DEFEND
I WILL DEFEND…
DAD SIT DOWN
CUZ I’M IN LOVE WITH A GUY
