MCMLIX Songtext
von Spring Heeled Jack

Father John, Mother Margaret Ann
They did the twist and watched the Ed Sullivan Show
Went to drive-ins for adventure
But they couldn′t ever see
Somebody locked the door shut
Now they're looking for the key
They better cool it down when they fool around
Dad′s '57 Chevy is only two years old
And I say

They try to make us, try to break us
Saying you can't go out at night
No time for sorrow, gotta work tomorrow
Even though that you can do it
They try to make us, try to break us
Saying no one come over tonight
Even though we do it just like they did
Way back in 1959


Things changed, they ran away
Had a child on their wedding day
Sat back and watched the world spin
Round and round and round
You know they tried, tried, couldn′t make the rent
Too many nights spent getting lit
Oh, your mom and pop were not so innocent, you know
And I say

They try to make us, try to break us
Saying you can′t go out at night
No time for sorrow, gotta work tomorrow
Even though that you can do it
They try to make us, try to break us
Saying no one come over tonight
Even though we do it just like they did
Way back in 1959

Well I fucked up and I've had a good time
I can′t complain
But they tell me to cool it down
Don't you fool around
Before I die, I wanna live
Look at yourself and you′ll see me

They keep telling how to live your life
Even though that you can do it
They keep telling how to live your life
Even though we do it just like they did


They try to make us, try to break us
Saying you can't go out at night
No time for sorrow, gotta work tomorrow
Even though that you can do it
They try to make us, try to break us
Saying no one come over tonight
Even though we do it just like they did
Way back in 1959
