Sorry, Mom And Dad - The Vandals

Well, you came into this world naked

Screaming and, ugh, covered in blood

Who was there to wipe you off

And give you your first hug?

And it took a couple years to figure out

How to not shit in your pants

But someone was there to clean you up

And powder off your rash

It’s been them from the start

The ones you tortured and broke their hearts

The two that you hate, the two that you blame

The very same ones that

Gave you your name

Remember the time you were five

And you lied about who broke your lamp?

Who were the ones that sat you down

And gave you a second chance?

It’s been them from the start

The ones you tortured and broke their hearts

The two that you hate, the two that you blame

The very same ones that

Gave you your name

Go home to Mom and Dad and say you’re sorry

It’s the least that you can do

After all you’ve put them through

Oh, come on

Beg Mom and Dad’s forgiveness, they deserve it

Even if you don’t mean it

Make them believe you that it’s true

And when they offered you up all that great advise

You just screamed «Fuck you both

And let me live my life!

I’m gonna go out drinking with my friends

Have unprotected sex

Pierce my nose

And get a tattoo of a dragon on my neck!»

Cuz now your 35 and working in a warehouse

Cuz you spent your college money on cocaine

And the shame of your existence

Is ever so persistent cuz you know your parents tried

And you’re to blame, you’re to blame

'Cuz It’s been them from the start

The ones you tortured and broke their hearts

The two that you hate

The two that you blame

The very same ones that

Gave you your name
