Papa, why do you play all the same old songs
Why do you sing with the melody
'Cause down on the street something' goin' on
There's a brand new beat and a brand new song
(He said)
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
CHORUS:
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
Every generation has its way
A need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A 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 goin' on
There's a brand new beat and a brand new song
(She said)
In my heart there's a young girl's passion
For a life long duet
Someday soon someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your own song and never forget
(CHORUS)
What is this game
Searching for love or fame
It's all the same
One of these days
You say that
Love will be the cure
I'm not so sure
(CHORUS)
