Chuck & Mary Perrin - Younger Generation
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 it's wrong of them that i was smaller then
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules
Like sun-showers, and legal grounds for skipping school
Well, i know i have forgotten maybe one or two
And i hope that i recall them all before the baby's due
'cause i know he'll have a question or two
Like, "hey pop, can i go ride my zoom that goes 200 miles an hour, suspended on balloons?"
And, "can i put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue
And imagine froth and 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 learned, my kid assumes
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
And still, i 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 stick his fingers in the fan
And, "hey pop, my girlfriends only three, she's got her own video phone and she's a takin' lsd
And now that we're best friends, she wants to give a bit to me"
"what's the matter, daddy? how come you're turning green?
Could it be that you can't live up to your dream?"
