Verse1:
C#Why must every generation think they're folks are square' F#
D#And no matter where they're heads are, they know mom's aint there. C#
C#Cause' I swore when I was small, that I'd remember when, F#
D#I knew what's wrong with them, that I was smaller than. C#
Verse2:
C#Determined to remember all the cardinal rules. F#
D#Like, sunshowers are legal grounds, for cutting school. C#
C#I know I have forgotten maybe one or two. F#
D#And I hope that I recall them all before the babyC#'s due.
D#And I'll know he'll have a questioG#n or two. C#
Chorus:
F#Like, hey pG#op. Can C#I go ride my zoom' A#
F#It goes twohundred miles an hG#our, suspended on baloC#ons. A#
F#And can I put a dropletG# of this new stuff on C#my tounge' A#
F#And imagine puffing dragons, wG#hile you sit and wreck your'eC#7 lungs.
C#And I must me permissive, understanG#ding A#of the younger generation. D# G#7
Verse2
And then I know that all I've learned, 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,
relating to what he can do when he becomes a man.
And still he'll sticks his fingers in the fan.
Chorus:
And hey pop, my girlfriend's only three.
She's got her own videophone,
and she's a-taking LSD.
And now that were best friends, she want's to give a bit to me.
F#But whats the matter daddy' How come your'e tC#7urning green'
D#Can it be that you can't live up toG# your'e dreams' C#
