Lyrics

Mother says, "Be careful
And don't stay out too long
Don't do things you shouldn't
Miss me when I'm gone."
Daddy says, "Not now, son
Just do the best you can
And you'll make out somehow, son
Be just like I am, just like I am."

You won't need a reason
She don't let you choose
And so to make the game easy
Mother makes the rules
We all know how the rules are
Changin' from day to day
That's the breaks, and I'm sorry
Some of us must be going
Some of us have to stay
Some of us may be showing
Some just fade away

Sad to say, it's the ending
And all the feeling's gone
If you don't like pretending
You can come along
And Mother says she's ready
And if you have the time
She'll help us all get steady
Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine
Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine
