Parents

Parents, why won't they shut up
Parents, they're so fucked up
They treat me like a tool
They take me for a fool
Parents, why won't they shut up
Parents, they're so fucked up
They're so fucking dense
They look into your past
For future reference
Parents, why won't they shut up
Parents, they're so fucked up
They don't even know I'm a boy
Just treat me like a toy
But little do they know
That one day I'll explode
I am a boy and not a toy
I will kill and I will destroy
I am a boy and not a toy
I will kill and I will destroy
Parents
They don't even know I'm a boy
Just treat me like a toy
But little do they know
That one day I'll explode
I am a boy and not a toy
I will kill and I will destroy
I am a boy and not a toy
I will kill and I will destroy
Parents, parents, parents
Parents, parents
