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, that I was smaller then
Determined to remember all the card'nal rules
 
Like sun showers are legal grounds for cuttin' school
 
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two
 
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby´s due
 
And I know he´ll have a question or two
Like "Hey, Pop, can I go ride my zoom
 
It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons
 
And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue
 
And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs"
 
And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation
Then I´ll know that all I´ve learned my kid assumes
 
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
 
And still I´ll try to them 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 girlfriend´s only three
 
She´s got her own videophone and she´s taking L.S.D.
 
And now that we´re best friends, she wants to give a bit 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 dreams?"
