keye luke & juanita hall - the other generation lyrics

Loading...

[w+ng]
i am puzzled by the attitude
of children over here
they are often disobedient
they seem to have no fear
of the father

[madam liang]
they come home when they are tired out
or when they want to eat
and they act as if their coming home
were quite a special treat
for the father

[w+ng]
my older son at twenty+one
has just discovered love
a complicated subject
he knows very little of

[madam liang]
your younger son confuses me
the way he uses words
he tells me i am “cukey”
and “something for the birds”
[w+ng]
what are we going to do about
the other generation?

[madam liang]
how will we ever communicate
without communication?

[w+ng]
you don’t know where they go or what they do—

[w+ng & madam liang, spoken]
ah ya

[madam liang]
and what peculiar thoughts they think
they never reveal to you

[w+ng]
a very discouraging problem is
the other generation
they want to lead a life that’s all their own

[madam liang]
perhaps we ought to let them
forsake them and forget them
but then we’d only find ourselves alone
[w+ng & madam liang]
with one another
i don’t believe we’d like to be alone!

[w+ng]
when you speak from your experience
you meet with cool disdain
every child is born with knowledge
beyond the puny brain
of a father

[madam liang]
every child is born with confidence
a parent can’t achieve
and the kind of intuition
that compels him to believe
what he’d rather

[w+ng]
my older son has chosen a daughter+in+law for me
a dancer in a nightclub is my daughter+in+law to be

[madam liang]
she dances and undresses ’til she’s naked as a flea
and everyone can look at—
[w+ng & madam liang]
what he alone should see!

what are we going to do about
the other generation?
how will we ever communicate
without communication?

[madam liang]
they never take the blame for one mistake—

[w+ng, spoken]
oh, no!

[w+ng]
their parents are responsible
for every mistake they make!

[w+ng & madam liang]
a very discouraging problem is
the other generation
and soon there’ll be another one as well

[madam liang]
and when our out+of+hand sons
are bringing up our grandsons
i hope our grandsons give their fathers h+ll!

[w+ng]
can’t wait to see it

[w+ng & madam liang]
i hope our grandsons give their fathers h+ll!
