We had you trained to be so classical
Yes, and you learned to play the guitar at school
But now we've caught you, you've been playing the fool
We don't think your musical taste is cool

You were too close to rock and roll
I paid for the teacher so I own your soul
Move out of the house
You can't use the car
You spend your lectures just drinking in the college bar
You don't wanna get a job, you won't get far
Pretty soon you're gonna come home
Gonna need your ma and pa
