Like father, like son
7
Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genes
8
No point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenes
9
Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate
10
To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's child
11
At times acclaimed, at times reviled
12
You'll wind up doing just what I've done
13
Like father, like son
14
Like father, like son
15
Don't assume your vices get handed down the line
16
That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design
17
I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that I
18
Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shock
19
But I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyone

27
Don't ever speak of her like that again

I appreciate too well, the squalor at which you excel
29
It isn't very hard to tell, evil's a distinctive smell
30
From this day on I choose my own way
31
If I choose to be with Aida, then I will be
32
And no one, not you, not even the gods can stop me
33
He's lost all sense of reason, and why? some foreign slut
34
Not only is that treason, some doors are slamming shut
35
Just like me, he's found that flesh can excite but will enmesh
36
Watch me rid him of this blight, once the harlot's out of sight
37
Then I think he will see the light
38
He won't walk back to daddy, he will run
39
