Barry Louis Polisar - Mom and Dad Are Always Right lyrics

Mom and Dad are always right and I am always wrong. They tell me that I eat too much and that I take too long. My grades at school aren't good enough, I don't do what I should. They tell me that I'm pretty dumb, I guess I'm not so good. They yell at me and tell me that I disobey their rules; I sleep too much, I miss the bus, I'm always late for school. When we go out to dinner, I always spill my drink, I drop my spoon and spill my soup; was born this was they think Dad says he was stronger when he was half my age. Mom never got dirty when she went out to play. I guess they both were perfect kids when they were young like me; They always did what they were told and that's how I should be. I guess I'm just a naughty boy--that's what they always say, Then they wonder why it is that I turned out this way. But you can't be perfect all the time--you can't always be good. Everybody makes mistakes and everybody should. Mom and Dad aren't always right and I'm not always wrong. I don't think that I eat too much or that I take too long. And one thing that I know for sure that they don't understand; I'm smarter than my Mommy and Daddy think I am. Mom says that I'm clumsy and I'm just a little brat; Somehow I accidentally spill my milk into her lap. Dad says I'm no help at all--I just get in his way; So when I should be helping him, I go outside and play
