The Black Tie Operation
the nest is on fire
Daddy, daddy, what can I say?
Youâre not the man that I wanted to be.
Mother dear, what can you do?
I never wanted to be like you.
Holy preacher, the only thing you say
is how Iâm living my life the wrong way.
Canât forget teacher who knows it best,
prove my worth with a standardized test.
I hate it but I think youâre right.
Thereâs some things in life you canât fight.
So donât complain about what I do.
The way I am is because of you.
