[00:13.619]You know parents are the same
[00:14.969]No matter time nor place
[00:16.299]They don't understand that us kids
[00:17.589]Are going to make some mistakes
[00:19.150]So to you other kids all across the land
[00:21.970]There's no need to argue
[00:23.439]Parents just don't understand
[00:35.569]I remember one year
[00:36.619]My mom took me school shopping
[00:38.269]It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister
[00:42.199]All hopped in the car
[00:43.759]We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
[00:46.399]My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
[00:48.979]I didn't say nothing at first
[00:50.599]I just turned up my nose
[00:51.989]She said, "What's wrong? This shirt cost $20"
[00:54.509]I said, "Mom, this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar!"
[00:57.409]The next half hour was the same old thing
[01:00.390]My mother buying me clothes from 1963
[01:02.709]And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
[01:05.529]I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips!
[01:07.989]I said, "Mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep"
[01:10.689]She said, "You're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet"
[01:13.359]I said, "Mom, let's put these clothes back, please"
[01:15.479]She said "no, you go to school to learn not for a fashion show"
[01:18.789]I said, "This isn't Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I'm not Bowzer
[01:21.599]Mom, please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers
[01:24.359]But if you don't want to I can live with that but
[01:27.990]You gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks"
[01:29.979]She wasn't moved - everything stayed the same
[01:32.669]Inevitably the first day of school came
[01:35.269]I thought I could get over, I tried to play sick
[01:38.149]But my mom said, "No, no way, uh-uh, forget it"
[01:41.789]There was nothing I could do, I tried to relax
[01:43.378]I got dressed up in those ancient artifacts
[01:46.128]And when I walked into school, it was just as I thought
[01:49.390]The kids were cracking up laughing at the clothes Mom bought
[01:51.598]And those who weren't laughing still had a ball
[01:54.319]Because they were pointing and whispering
[01:55.990]As I walked down the hall
[01:57.158]I got home and told my Mom how my day went
[01:59.249]She said, "If they were laughing you don't need them,
[02:01.229]"Cause they're not good friends"
[02:02.549]For the next six hours I tried to explain to my Mom
[02:05.190]That I was gonna have to go through this about 200 more times
[02:07.789]So to you other kids all across the land
[02:10.348]There's no need to argue
[02:12.139]Parents just don't understand
[02:25.900]Oh-kay, here's the situation
[02:27.109]My parents went away on a week's vacation and
[02:29.919]They left the keys to the brand new Porsche
[02:32.439]Would they mind?
[02:33.519]Umm, well, of course not
[02:35.349]I'll just take it for a little spin
[02:36.978]And maybe show it off to a couple of friends
[02:41.900]I'll just cruise it around the neighborhood
[02:43.999]Well, maybe I shouldn't
[02:44.899]Yeah, of course I should
[02:46.719]Pay attention, here's the thick of the plot
[02:48.709]I pulled up to the corner at the end of my block
[02:51.299]That's when I saw this beautiful girlie girl walking
[02:54.299]I picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talking
[02:57.890]You should've seen this girl's bodily dimensions
[02:59.728]I honked my horn just to get her attention
[03:02.419]She said, "Was that for me?"
[03:03.699]I said, "Yeah"
[03:04.609]She said, "Why?"
[03:05.299]I said, "Come on and take a ride with a helluva guy"
[03:07.909]She said, "How do I know you're not sick?
[03:10.259]You could be some deranged lunatic"
[03:13.159]I said, "C'mon toots - my name is the Prince =
[03:16.199]Beside, would a lunatic have a Porsche like this?"
[03:18.919]She agreed and we were on our way
[03:21.339]She was looking very good and so was I, I must say - word
[03:24.279]We hit McDonald's, pulled into the drive
[03:27.299]We ordered two Big Macs and two large fries with Cokes
[03:29.789]She kicked her shoes off onto the floor
[03:32.459]She said, "Drive fast, speed turns me on"
[03:35.499]She put her hand on my knee, I put my foot on the gas
[03:37.649]We almost got whiplash, I took off so fast
[03:40.549]The sun roof was open , the music was high
[03:43.249]And this girl's hand was steadily moving up my thigh
[03:46.900]She had opened up three buttons on her shirt so far
[03:48.559]I guess that's why I didn't notice that police car
[03:51.489]We're doing ninety in my Mom's new Porsche
[03:54.209]And to make this long story short - short
[03:56.909]When the cop pulled me over I was scared as hell
[03:59.469]I said, "I don't have a license but I drive very well, officer"
[04:02.409]I almost had a heart attack that day
[04:04.749]Come to find out the girl was a twelve-year-old runaway
[04:07.729]I was arrested, the car was impounded
[04:10.749]There was no way for me to avoid being grounded
[04:13.299]My parents had to come off from vacation to get me
[04:15.929]I'd rather be in jail than to have my father hit me
[04:18.678]My parents walked in
[04:19.999]I got my grip, I said, "Ah, Mom, Dad, how was your trip?"
[04:24.619]They didn't speak
[04:25.460]I said, "I want to plead my case"
[04:26.669]But my father just shoved me in the car by my face
[04:29.280]That was a hard ride home, I don't know how I survived
[04:31.929]They took turns -
[04:32.909]One would beat me while the other one was driving
[04:35.599]I can't believe it, I just made a mistake
[04:37.558]Well parents are the same no matter time nor place
[04:40.590]So to you other kids all across the land
[04:42.929]Take it from me
[04:44.479]Parents just don't understand
