Father John, Mother Margret Ann
|
They did the twist and watched the Ed Sullivan Show
|
Went to drive-ins for adventure, but they could never see
|
Somebody locked the door shut and they're looking for the key
|
They better cool it down when they fool around
|
Dad's '57 Chevy is only 2 years old.
|
|
And I say "They try to make us try to break us
|
Saying you can't go out at night
|
No time for sorrow gotta work tomorrow
|
Even though that you can do it
|
They try to make us try to break us
|
Saying no one comes over tonight
|
Even though we do it just like they did
|
Way back in 1959"
|
|
Things changed they ran away
|
Had a child on their wedding day
|
Sat back and watched the world spin around
|
You know they tried, tried couldn't make the rent
|
Too many nights spent getting lit
|
Your mom and pop were not so innocent you know
|
|
And I say "They try to make us try to break us
|
Saying you can't go out at night
|
No time for sorrow gotta work tomorrow
|
Even though that you can do it
|
They try to make us try to break us
|
Saying no one comes over tonight
|
Even though we do it just like they did
|
Way back in 1959
|
|
Well I fucked up and I had a good time
|
I can't complain
|
But they tell me to 'cool it down.
|
Don't you fool around'
|
Before I die, I wanna live
|
Look at yourself and you'll see me
|
|
They keep telling us how to live your life
|
Even though that you can do it
|
They keep telling you how to live your life
|
Even though we do it just the way they did.
