Spring Heeled Jack - MCMLIX lyrics

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 f**ed 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
