The Posies - Surrender lyrics

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you She also told me, "Stay away You'll never know what you'll catch" Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off Some Indonesian junk that's going round Mommy's all right, daddy's all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay Father says, "Your mother's right She's really up on things Before we were married, your mother served In the WACs in the Philippines" Now, I had heard the WACs recruited old maids for the war But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years Mommy's all right, daddy's all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay Whatever happened to all this talk of losers of the year? Well every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear? Then I woke up, Mom and Dad were rolling on the couch Rolling numbers, rock and roll, I got my Kiss records out Mommy's all right, daddy's all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay Mommy's all right, daddy's all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay Mommy's all right, Joe's all right Brian's all right, Ken's all right, and Jon's all right We're all all right, we're all all right, we're all all right
