Tragically Hip - Kids Don't Get it текст песни

You said, a€?If I ask you a question,
are you gonna lie to me?a€™
I said, a€?honey, is that your question?
cuz honey, that onea€™s easya€™
cuz half the truth is, just how much there is
The kids dona€™t get it
No. The kids dona€™t get it

Ia€™m gonna be an expert stranger,
better than the giant squid
Ia€™m gonna leave the stranger experts
scratching their heads, saying, a€?howa€™d he do it?!a€™
When half the truth is, just how hard it is
But the kids dona€™t get it
No. The kids wona€™t get it

Ia€™ll be the antlers and Ia€™ll be the elk
Ia€™ll be the right whale and Ia€™ll be parallel
The kids dona€™t get it
Thata€™s right, kids dona€™t get it

Ia€™ll feel more than human when the worka€™s hitting home

Ia€™ll be aped by my ancestors. Ia€™ll state the plan as my own
Ia€™ll be gripping the city, Ia€™ll be hitting the town
Youa€™ll say. a€?Ia€™d be hurt if you didna€™t, when I come arounda€™
Thata€™s right, kids dona€™t get it

Ia€™ll be as careless as you are certain.
Ia€™ll get outta my own way
Ia€™ll stop to cry into the curtains
and like the greats, before me, go on stage
And if half-true its, good enough for this
cuz the kids dona€™t get it
No. The kids dona€™t get it
If I ask you a question,
ya gonna lie to me?
Ah honey is that your question?
cuz that onea€™s easy

Kids dona€™t get it
Just how hard it is
Kids dona€™t get it
Just how much there is
