Verse 1
(C major) Why must every generation
think their folk (D minor) s are square?
And no (G major) matter where their heads are,
they know mom (C major) s ain't there.
Cause I swore when I was small
that I'd remem (G major) ber when (D minor) I
(G major) knew what's wrong with them
that I was smaller than (C major)
Determined to remember
all (G major) the cardinal rules (D minor)
Like (G major) sun showers are legal
ground (E minor) s for (C major) cutting school
I know I have forgotten
may (G major) be one or two (D minor)
And I (G major) hope that I recall them all
be (C major) fore the baby's due
And I (D minor) know he'll (A minor) have a (G major) question or two (C major) (G major)
(C major) Like (F major) K -pop,
(G major) can I (C major) go ride (G major) my Zoom? (A minor)
It goes (D minor) 200 miles (G major) an hour,
(C major) suspended (G major) on balloon (A minor) s
And (D minor) can I put a droplet
(G major) of this new (C major) stuff (G major) on my tongue? (A minor)
And ima (D minor) gine frothing dragons
while you sit and wreck your lungs
And (C major) I must be permissive, (E minor)
under (A minor) standing of
the younger generation (G major)
And (C major) then I'll know that all
I've learned my (G major) kid as (D minor) sumes
And (G major) all my deepest worries
must be his (C major) cartoons
And still I'll try to tell him
all the thing (G major) s I've done (D minor)
Relat (G major) ing to what he can do
when (C major) he becomes a man
And (D minor) still he'll stick his (G major) fingers in the fan (C major)
And (F major) hip (G major) hop,
my girl (C major) friend's (G major) only three
(A minor) She's got (D minor) her own videophone,
(G major) and she's (C major) a -taking LS (G major) D
(A minor) And now (D minor) that we're best friend (G major) s,
she wants to (C major) give a (G major) bit to me
(A minor) But (D minor) what's the matter, Daddy?
How come you're (A minor) turning green? (D minor)
Can it (F major) be that you can't
live up to your dreams?
