Select language to translate this lyric
as you sit there now your hair is almost white
the wrinkles on your hands
so friendly and soft who would have ever thought that
you have changed so much
I didn't become what you wanted but daddy, listen now
I do the things I do with my eyes closed
you had a lot of plans but little came of it
I don't deliver anything
I don't have learned a lot, did everything wrong
I have trouble with relationships
I don't stand in line, I break away and fight my way out
and do the things I do with my eyes closed
button your coat, put on a tie, wash your hands first
comb your hair straighten your shoulders, think about your teeth
don't linger, go straight home, speak in two words
introduce yourself nicely eat as you should and tell you
I'm standing here and I'm singing I'm just doing my thing
you have to accept that
oh listen dad it's not too late
because you can learn to live
I don't know where I stand, I don't follow anyone behind
but I do the things I do with my eyes closed
button your coat, put on a tie, wash your hands first
comb your hair straight your shoulders think of your teeth
don't linger straight home speak in two words
introduce yourself politely eat as you should and say you
