No Son of Mine is the first single written by the British rock group Genesis from their 1991 album We Can't Dance, which reached #6 in the UK and #12 in the US. The song is about the horrors of dealing with an abusive, drunk father, and about even if you flee the scene, how memories will haunt you for the remainder of your life. The video for this song was particularly dreary, illustrating the scene in black and white.
The single included the 8th track from We Can't Dance, "Living Forever", as the B-side
