You said, "If I ask you a question
Are you gonna lie to me?"
I said, "Honey, is that your question?
'Cause honey, that one's easy"
'Cause half the truth is
Just how much there is
The kids don't get it
No, the kids don't get it
I'm gonna be an expert stranger
Better than the giant squid
I'm gonna leave the stranger experts
Scratching their heads saying, "How did he do it?"
When half the truth is
Just how hard it is
But the kids don't get it
No, the kids won't get it
I'll be the antlers and I'll be the elk
I'll be the right whale and I'll be parallel
The kids don't get it
That's right, the kids don't get it
I'll feel more than human
When the work's hitting home
I'll be aped by my ancestors
I'll state the plan as my own
I'll be gripping the city
I'll be hitting the town
You'll say,"I'd be hurt if you didn't"
When I come around
Yeah, that's right, the kids don't get it
I'll be as careless as you are certain
I'll get out of my own way
I'll stop to cry into the curtains
And like the great before me go on stage
And if half true it's
Good enough for this
'Cause the kids don't get it
No, the kids don't get it
If I ask you a question
You gonna lie to me?
Ah honey, is that your question?
'Cause that one's easy
Kids don't get it
Just how hard it is
The kids don't get it
Just how much there is
