Why can't they be like we were, perfect in every way.
Kids!
I don't know what's wrong with these kids today
Kids!
Who can understand anything they say?
Kids!
They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs
Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy loaf-
Ers!
And while we're on the subject
Kids!
You can talk and talk till your face is blue
Kids!
But they still do just what they want to do
Why can't they be like we were
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?
[MAE]
Kids!
I've tried to raise you the best I could
Kids!
All the things I've done were for your own good
Kids!
Can't you once appreciated how I've sacrificed
Working, slaving, scrimping, saving pennies?
And livin' with your father
Kids!
No one knows the burden I've had to bear
(And in my condition!)
Kids!
I'm a poor, sick woman, and does he care?
Ha! Go on, go on, and kill me
That's what it's coming to
When a mother has kids like you
