Intro : (x2)
Papa, why do you p lay all the same old s ongs
Why do you si ng with the mel ody
Cause down on the st reet something's going o n
There's a brand new be at and a brand new song
He said
In my life, there was so much anger
Still I have no regre ts
Just like you, I was s uch a rebel
So dance your own dance, and ne ver forget
N'oubliez ja mais
I heard my father s ay
Every generation has its w ay
A need to disob ey
N'oubliez jam ais
It's in your desti ny
A need to disagr ee
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jama is
Mamma, why do you da nce to the same old s ongs
Why do you si ng only harm ony
Cause down on the st reet something's going on
There's a brand new b eat and a brand new son g
She said
In my heart there's a young girl's passion
For a life-long du et
And someday soon someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your own song and ne ver forget
N'oubliez ja mais
I heard my father s ay
Every generation has its w ay
A need to disob ey
N'oubliez jam ais
It's in your desti ny
A need to disagr ee
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jama is
What is this ga me
Searching for lo ve or fame, it's all the same
One of these d ays you say that love wil l be the cure
I'm not so sure
N'oubliez ja mais
I heard my father s ay
Every generation has its w ay
A need to disob ey
N'oubliez jam ais
It's in your desti ny
A need to disagr ee
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jama is
