Parents

Blah!

I was born in a messed up century

My favorite flavored sweets are raspberry amphetamines

I bought myself a guitar, age sixteen

I brush my teeth with bleach

'Cause I ain't got time for cavities

My daddy put a gun to my head

Said if you kiss a boy, I'm gonna shoot you dead

I imagine him tied up with gaffer tape and I locked him in a shed

Then I went out to the garden and I fucked my only friend

'Cause my high hopes are getting low

Because these people are so old

The way they think about it all

If I tried, I would never know

My high hopes are getting low

But I know I'll never be alone

It's alright, we'll survive

'Cause parents ain't always right

Drop a toaster in my bath, watch my own father laugh

See a thousand volts go through the son he wish he never had

They told me casual affection leads to sexual infection

But it's hard to get an erection when you're so used to rejection

Yeah, I used to have a lover, but then I had to kill her

Had to wash away the sins of an retired musician

"Hi! Nice to meet ya, " got nothing left to live in

So let me know when my breathing stops

'Cause my high hopes are getting low

Because these people are so old

The way they think about it all

If I tried, I would never know

My high hopes are getting low

But I know I'll never be alone

It's alright, we'll survive

'Cause parents ain't always right

Tick, tock, stop the clock

Because I got the feeling that I'm gonna get shot

Tick, tock, stop the clock

Because I got the feeling that I'm gonna get shot

My high hopes are getting low

Because these people are so old

The way they think about it all

If I tried, I would never know

My high hopes are getting low

But I know I'll never be alone

It's alright, we'll survive

'Cause parents ain't always right
