I guess there is a downside
To only see in the bright side of life
Cause if you are not grounded
Or your head's in the clouds
what's real and what's right
So we need some kind of equalizing force
when we get on our high horse
They'll expose you as a fool
Like it's their mission to
I know it feels personal,
But who else could protect us
from having fun in public
that might be out of style
And who else could remind us
our best years are behind us
Not getting any young er,
they're just trying to help
Sometimes it's hard to beat
When we don't, they disappear
You might think they're being selfish
Of course the ones I have
are the exceptions to the rule
They're perfect little angels all the time,
I guess that as their father,
Is help my babies become good adults,
They say these years will fly by,
so we should savor this time
Before you know it, they're gone
The little kids of their own
So if we can keep from killing
Maybe one day we will all
You know they say what goes around
