[Verse 1]
Oh, my firstborn, you're a fine one
But you seem a tad confused
With so many paths before you
You don't know which one to choose
And they will ask for information
To assess your lippy health
And if they question your intention
You should keep it to yourself
[Chorus]
And it's not like I don't trust you
Or think you've been unwise
You don't need some old guy's insight
In your space-age eyes
[Verse 2]
Now my offers of assistance
I'll reject it out of hand
You're still living in the '60s
You can't hope to understand
It's a different set of ceilings
That you smash your head upon
Those pretty flowers, they lost their meaning
Now your cosmic world has gonе
[Chorus]
And it's hard for us to take it
When we stop to rеalize
That we're little more than halfwits
In your space-age eyes
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, my darling, you will always
Be a child in my mind
Though I'll try to see a grownup
I can't leave that kid behind
So I get it, I'm a hen dad
As I'm clucking 'round your drum
I will cut my stupid head off
But my legs still want to run
[Chorus]
And I promise I'll do better
And so back off will arise
And I could not find approval
In your space-age eyes
