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
