I don't bother about many things I don't feel strongly about issues I don't notice when people kind of walk on me 'Cause I don't pay too much attention I'm just like my father was Dad, he's like his father was Mom, she's like her mother was That's the way it is Everything's always coming around again Just like music is, like fashion And I don't know what my generation is Or what have we created for our children? We've just made a lot of smog and names for dogs We shouldn't be proud to pass along I'm just like my father was Dad, he's like his father was Mom, she's like her mother was And that's the way it is You'd think we'd learn from all our past generation's art But we just like to play the part No, kids don't care about their father's art Their father's art But we're all kind of like our fathers were Dad, he's like his father was Mom, she's like her mother was That's the way it is, hmm-mm That's the way is
