Daddy issues

"Daddy issues" is a song by LorD and Master. From the album Queer, the song is based on a quote by Christopher Hitchens (1949 - 2011) that suggested that the right-wing evangelical branches of organised religions have an absent father whom they are always trying to please.

Lyrics

I'm not your fucking therapist
I'll listen if you so insist
But don't go thinking
I'll hand you tissues
I'm not gonna help you to solve 
Shit that you can't even resolve
But I've got two words
Daddy issues

My father's absent too
What excuse does it confer to you 
That means you can act the way you do

A much-prophesised return
A scorched earth you helped to burn 
What makes you think any of this is true

Off you go
Into the future
Off you go
Into the night

I'm not your fucking therapist
I'll listen if you so insist 
But don't go thinking I'll hand you tissues
I'm not gonna help you to solve 
Shit that you can't even resolve
But I've got two words
Daddy issues

Daddy issues
Daddy issues
Daddy issues
Daddy issues

Off you go
Into the future
Off you go
Into the night

I'm not your fucking therapist
I'll listen if you so insist 
But don't go thinking
I'll hand you tissues
I'm not gonna help you to solve 
Shit that you can't even resolve
But I've got two words
Daddy issues

Daddy issues
Daddy issues
