Lyrics

Why must every generation think their folks are square
And no matter where their heads are they know mom's ain't there
'Cause I swore when I was small that I'd remember when
I knew what's wrong with them, but I was smaller then
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules
Like sun showers and legal grounds for cutting school
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two
But I hope that I'll recall them all before the date is due
And still he'll have a question or two
Like, "Hey pop, can I go ride my zoom
It goes to a hundred miles an hour, suspended by a balloon
And can I put a drop without this new stuff on my tongue
And imagine fucking dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs?"
And I must be permissive
Understanding of the younger generation
And then I'll know that all I've known my kid assumes
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
And still I'll try to tell him all the things I've done
Related to what he can do when he becomes a man
And still he'll stick his fingers in the fan
"And hey pop, my girlfriend's only three
She's got her own video phone and she's taking X-Y-Z
And now that we're best friends she wants to give her bid to me
But what's the matter, daddy? How come you're turning green?
Can it be that you can't live up to your dream?"
