Father John, Mother Margret Ann
  They did the twist and watched the Ed Sullivan Show
  Went to drive-ins for adventure, but they could never see
  Somebody locked the door shut and they're looking for the key
  They better cool it down when they fool around
  Dad's '57 Chevy is only 2 years old.
    And I say "They try to make us try to break us
  Saying you can't go out at night
  No time for sorrow gotta work tomorrow
  Even though that you can do it
  They try to make us try to break us
  Saying no one comes over tonight
  Even though we do it just like they did
  Way back in 1959"
    Things changed they ran away
  Had a child on their wedding day
  Sat back and watched the world spin around
  You know they tried, tried couldn't make the rent
  Too many nights spent getting lit
  Your mom and pop were not so innocent you know
    And I say "They try to make us try to break us
  Saying you can't go out at night
  No time for sorrow gotta work tomorrow
  Even though that you can do it
  They try to make us try to break us
  Saying no one comes over tonight
  Even though we do it just like they did
  Way back in 1959
    Well I fucked up and I had a good time
  I can't complain
  But they tell me to 'cool it down.
  Don't you fool around'
  Before I die, I wanna live
  Look at yourself and you'll see me
    They keep telling us how to live your life
  Even though that you can do it
  They keep telling you how to live your life
  Even though we do it just the way they did.
