Sorry, Mom And Dad

(album: Look What I Almost Stepped In... - 2000)

Well, you came into this world naked, screaming and 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!"

Call Mom and Dad and finally 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

That it's true

Cause now your 35 and working in a warehouse
Cause you spent your college money on cocaine
And the shame of your existence is ever so persistent
Cause you know your parents tried and you're to blame
You're to blame, cause

It's been the 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 your 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

That it's true
