Two speakers perform a reimagined "Cats in the Cradle" about a father too busy with work to know his son, who grows up to ignore his own child. The song traces how absence passes down through generations, each repeating the last.

My child arrived just the other day, came to the world in the usual way, but there were planes to catch and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away, he was talking before I knew it, and as he grew, he said, I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
I know I'm gonna be like you. And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little ball blue and the man on the moon. When you're coming home, son, I don't know when. We'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.
Well, my son, just the other day, said thanks for the ball. Come on, let's play, kid. He teach me to throw. I said, not today, I got a lot to do. He said, I'm so gay. He walked away and he smiled and he said, you know I'm gonna be like him.
Yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him. And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy, I'm gonna be with the man on the moon. When you coming home, son? I don't know when. We'll get together then. And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little ball blue and the man on the moon. When you're coming home, son, I don't know where. We'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.
I've been long since retired, my son has moved away. I called him up just the other day. I'd like to see you if you don't mind. He said, I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. You see, my new job's hassling the kids of the food. But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad. It's been sure nice talking to you. And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me, he'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me. And the cats and the fiddle and the silver spoon. Little Boy Blue and the man on the moon. When you come in, old son, I don't know where. We'll get together there. You know we'll have a good time there. And the cats and the fiddle and the silver spoon. Little Boy Blue and the man on the moon. When you come in, old son, I don't know where.
