Papa why do you play
all the same old songs
why do you sing
with the melody
'Cause down
on the street
something's going on
there's a brand new beat
and a brand new song
In my life
there was so much anger
still I have no regrets
Just like you
I was such a rebel
so dance your own dance
and never forget
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
every generation
has its way
I need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
it's in your destiny
I need to disagree
when rules
get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
Mama why do you dance
to the same old songs
why do you sing
only harmony
'Cause down on the street
something's going on
there's a brand new beat
and a brand new song
In my heart
there's a young
girl's passion
for a life long duet
And someday soon
someone's smile
will haunt you
so sing your own song
and never forget
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
every generation
has its way
I need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
it's in your destiny
I need to disagree
when rules
get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
What is this game
searching for love
or fame
that's all the same
One of these days
you'll say that
love will be the cure
I'm not so sure
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
every generation
has its way
I need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
it's in your destiny
I need to disagree
when rules
get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
Don't you ever forget
our love
Every generation
has it's own way to go
in its own
N'oubliez jamais
don't you ever ever
ever forget it
