Lepras Messias has it down pretty good. There's discipline, and then there's just plain anger. The parent has been broken by lifes experiences and is forcing the child to life a life of uniformity. Go to work, come home, repeat. The last line is really what ties it all together:

"Head high like a song you like"

"Head down" is mentioned alot, but "Head high" is only mentioned twice, once of "a song you like, and once of the need to smile (be positive). In my life, music is an upbuilding thing, and it gets me through troubles, but "a song you like" might be you finding comfort in whatever you like.
