Our parents say be a leader and not follow up behind people

But we don’t listen to a word our parents say
Our parents say be yourself and express how the children feel
But we don’t listen to a word our parents say
The children can do what the parents say and make the world a better place
But we don’t listen to a word the children say

Our parent’s say don’t do drugs and don’t be sexually active
But we don’t listen to a word our parents say
Our parents raised us your whole life cloth us, feed us, and etc
But we don’t listen to a word our parents say
The children try to be good, listen, and do what the parents say
But our parents don’t listen to a word the children say

Our parents say we are liars and we don’t listen
But our parents don’t listen to a word the children say
Our parents say the children don’t care about the things the parents do
But our parents don’t listen to a word the children say

Our parents say the children are intelligible and ungrateful
But our parents don’t listen to a word the children say
Our parents need to know how the children feel and understand
And the children will listen to what their parents say.
