Old Man
Generational Deceit: Unveiling Family Secrets in Guttermouth's 'Old Man'
Lyrics
Son it's your dad and I'm an old man
Son, the speaker (dad) is addressing his child and highlighting his own elderly status.
Get your ass over here and empty my bedpan
The dad is requesting his child to come and perform a task related to his care (emptying the bedpan).
Cause you dumped this bag of bones in a nursing home
The dad is resentful about being placed in a nursing home by his child.
Now I'm gonna make your life miserable
The dad intends to retaliate by making the child's life difficult due to this decision.
Son it's your dad and I knew about your scam
The dad claims awareness of the child's attempt to access his retirement funds illegitimately.
When you tried to empty out my retirement plan
There was an unsuccessful attempt by the child to access the dad's retirement savings.
Little did you know that the feds where on the phone?
The federal authorities were alerted or involved during the attempted scam.
And you'll never ever guess where I hid the dough
The dad has hidden the money, and the child won't be able to guess where it is.
Your wife is an imbred who married an idiot
A derogatory statement about the child's spouse, implying poor judgment in their choice of partner.
It's no surprise that your kids are deformed
An insult directed at the child's offspring, suggesting they have physical deformities.
Good luck with the debt and the mess that I left you with
The dad is leaving the child with financial burdens and problems intentionally.
And in my will it will just say go to hell
In the dad's will, he plans to leave a hurtful message to the child.
Son it's your dad and I'm rotting in this bed
The dad is decaying in his current state and feeling neglected or mistreated.
When you were a kid I dropped you on your head
The dad humorously claims to have dropped the child on their head in the past.
I know you think you're smart cause I'm an old fart
The dad acknowledges the child might think he's clever due to the dad's age, but the child has always been foolish.
But you've been an idiot right from the start
Accusation of the child's idiocy from a young age.
Son it's your dad remember that time
The dad refers to a past incident where he joked about not being the child's biological father.
We hit the sauce and I said you weren't mine
The child might have misunderstood or hoped the statement was a jest, but the truth remains undisclosed.
You thought it was a joke or maybe had a hope
The true paternity of the child remains a mystery or unconfirmed.
But the real truth will never be known.
The ultimate truth about the father-child relationship will remain unknown.
