ALTERNATIVE BIRTHDAY GIFTS

Mommy’s little princess & daddy’s little boy
The best advice they’ll probably get won’t ever bring them joy
Its dog eat dog… live life fast… trust nobody…… kiss my ass…
Don’t be a clown
That’s the kind of life philosophy that’ll only bring you down

Kids these days they get a real bad press
But you only need to look at mom and dad
To understand why life’s a mess
Their rationale for raising kids sure puts logic to the test!

Like Billy on his birthday got a semi-automatic
To accessorise his tattoos and his leather biker jacket
He’s thirteen… he’s thirteen and he’s mean…
From a baby to a full-grown man with not much in between

Betty got a breast enlargement on the day she turned sixteen
From a training bra to a ‘Double D’ she’s hot to make the scene
She’s daddy’s little queen... happy birthday sweet sixteen
From a baby to a full-grown woman with not much in between

Kids these days they get a real hard time
But if there’s nothing to believe in it’s easy to quit trying
If you got no dreams to follow you’re just drifting down the line

Mommy’s little princess & daddy’s little boy
The best advice they’ll probably get won’t ever bring them joy
Its dog eat dog… live life fast… trust nobody…… kiss my ass…
Don’t be a clown
That’s the kind of life philosophy guaranteed to bring you down
