what's the matter with parents today?

mom and dad

how'd you get so rad?

when exactly did you get so hip?

wearing teenage clothes

you're always coming to my shows

and telling me that i should mellow out

it's absurd

they're singing every word

you're not supposed to like my band

things i like you don't understand

so please put down that rum and coke

that's not behaviour for old folk

can we just hang on holidays

dad and mom

what planet are you from?

and what convinced you to pack up and leave

doing drugs

and asking me for hugs

what's the matter with parents today?

not again

when will it end?

dad's dressing like motley crue

and why is moms hair dyed bright blue?

and stayin' out till 2 or 3

then having sex publicly

i thought the apple fell far from the tree

mom and dad

i think you ought

to quit smoking so much pot

and hanging with my friends

laying round

on the couch

with my misfits records out

softly banging your head

maybe its just a passing phase

what's the matter with my parents these days?
