	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 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
	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 dreams?"

	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 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
	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 dreams?"
