No Son of Mine is the first single 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's lyrics tell the story of a boy who runs away from home, and -- after some reconsideration -- attempts to return, only to be rebuked by his father. 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.
