"Parental Guidance" lyrics

"Parental Guidance"

Wake up, it's early morning
Fall in love with the shit town you were born in
Make friends with kiddies you can't relate to
And play it, play it cool in the schoolyard, so that nobody hates you

It's for your own good
Won't have you misunderstood
Oh it's about time you started to try a little harder
Don't you think?
It's about time you started to try a little harder
Don't you think?
It's about time you started to try a little harder
Don't you think?
It's about time

And you're swell, just as God made you
But we could brace your teeth and change a thing or two
And it's a long road out on your own
Run with the pack, baby, don't do it alone

It's for your own good
Won't have you misunderstood
Oh it's about time you started to try a little harder
Don't you think?
It's about time you started to try a little harder
Don't you think?
It's about time you started to try a little harder
Don't you think?
It's about time

You wanna talk about what hurts bad
And why you'd rather sink than swim
Somebody threw a punch again
And didn't catch your name
