Mom And Dad Created A Monster
Heideroosjes · Choice For A Lost Generation?! [1994]
My clothes are different so you can see it
The thoughts I have are not the same as yours
Those ideas don't make my a loser without force
(CHORUS)
Mom and Dad created a monster The monster is me
Mom and Dad created a monster I just count up to three
Mom and Dad created a monster Please don't look at me
Mom and Dad created a monster The monster is me
I am nothing, I'm a beast without sense
Completely mad, out of my mind, so are my friends
The way I walk divides me from the crowd
Crowd full of hypocrites, don't know what they are about
I am nothing, because I don't wear a suit
But if that's what you like, than you should
It's more fun to feel fine yourself
Than do things just to please somebody else
Mom and Dad created a monster, the monster is me
