My dad said
Son let's not get started again
When you grow up you will understand
The future's more than rock and roll bands
Late nights, beer and cheap girlfriends
Can't you see, that your mother and me
Are worried about your life?
You can't succeed in school, always playing the fool
Can't you do anything right?
You've become no one, you're a great disappointment to me
You're dumb, and you're stunned
You're a great disappointment to me
My teacher said
Boy stop acting like a clown
Shut your mouth and settle down
It's time to start bringing up your grades
There's no time for making up lost ground
Start facing facts, pull up your boot straps
You'll never get the job you need
To start a life, support a wife
And kids you can't afford to feed
You've become no one, you're a great disappointment to me
You're dumb, and you're stunned, you're a great disappointment to me
Now I don't mean to complain, about the things I can't change
But it all seems a bit strange, how the past keeps repeating again
My love says
Man I can't take it no more
Playing your guitar instead of doing your chores
And the family is always ignored
Can't you see your not a kid anymore?
Can't you see what your family needs
Is more than just a punk
Playing guitar in sleazy bars
Hanging around with drunks
You've become no one, you're a great disappointment to me
You're dumb, and you're stunned, you're a great disappointment to me
