Why must every generation think that folks are 
  5
square
 6   6  6  6    6    -5    -5    5    5   -4
And no matter where their heads are they know
 5     6      5
Mom`s ain`t there
   6   6   6     6  6  6    6    -5   5   4 -4 5
`Cause I swore when I was small that I`d remember
  5
when
3  -4    5     -4     5    6   -6  6  5  -4 5
I knew what`s wrong with them that I was taller

Determined to remember all the cardinal rules
Like sunshowers 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 
 4  4  -4    5    5  -4   5  4    4  4
And I know he`ll have a question or two
  6     7      6   5  6 -6  -6  -6   6
Like " Hey~~~ pop can I go ride my zoom
 -4    5  -5   -5 6     6    5  6     5  6  5
That goes two hundred miles an hour suspended
 6  -6  -6   -6   7  7  7 -7  -7 -6  -6  -6
on balloons? And can I put a droplet of this
 6   -6   -6 -6   6     -4   5 -5-5  -5 5
new stuff on my tongue, and imagine frothin`
 5 -4     -4    5   5  -4    5     5   -4 4
dragons, While you sit and wreck your lungs?"
 4  5  6    6  5  6  6    6  5  -6  6   6  5
And I must be permissive understanding of the

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`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 stick his fingers in the fan

And "Hey~~~ pop my girlfriend`s only three
She`s got her own video phone and she`s a takin`LSD
And now that we`re best friends she want`s to 
give a bit to me
 5    -5   -5  -5  5   5 -4 -4   5     5
But what`s the matter Daddy how come you`re
 5  5    5-4
turnin` green?

Can it be that you can`t live up to your dreams~~
