Kids!
I don't know what's wrong with these kids today

Kids!

Why can't they be like we were
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?

I've tried to raise you the best I could
Kids!

And livin' with your father
Kids!
No one knows the burden I've had to bear
(And in my condition!)
Kids!

That's what it's coming to
