You say I waste my life away, but I live it to the full And how would you know anyway, you're just mister dull Why don't you get into the things we do today You could lose twenty years right away, so we say We don't need, no, no no no parental guidance here Every day you scream at me to turn the music low Well if you keep on screaming, you'll make me deaf you know You always chew me out, because I stay out late Until your three-piece suit comes back in date, get one thing straight There's no communication I'm tired of explanation Is this message getting through You went through the same thing too Don't you remember what it's like to lose control Put on my jacket - for you get too old Let's rock n' roll
