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 cardinal rules Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting 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 knoe he´ll have a question or two
Like "hey Pop, can I go ride my zoom It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended by 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 Related 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 dream?"

1. Yes--I think it is nature's way of challenging them to come up with |
|
new ideas.
OTOH, resurrecting the past seems to be very popular these days, so maybe we really are de-evolving.
