Some Mothers Do 'ave 'em
That's right, that's right
I got a band and a woman too
I got a plan and a focused view
And that's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for anyone
And I've already stayed for too long
But I will only break your heart when I go
When I go, when I go
Hold tight, hold tight
Still just a kid with a heavy load
And rock and roll is a rocky road
But that's cool for 21
A long list of goals achieved
Tall tales to tell my son
That is cool for 21
Yeah, that's cool for anyone
But I don't drive, and I don't pay no board
This will only make it hard when I go
When I go, when I go
When I go, when I go, yeah
So I'm staying at home, yeah
'Cause to my neighbours
I'm fucking famous
My mother says she loves me
She tells me I'm not ugly
She thinks the whole world of me
She thinks I'm Superman
My mother doesn't under-
-Stand why I'm always angry
I know she don't deserve it
But she's just first in line
I don't respect myself
'Cause I can't respect myself
And I don't respect myself
'Cause I can't respect myself
And yeah, I heard every word that you said, oh
And your ideas, they all make sense, but I reject them
Well, how can I hope to earn your respect? Oh
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself
I don't respect myself
No
I got a band and a woman too
I got a plan and a focused view
And that's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for anyone
And I've already stayed for too long
But I will only break your heart when I go
When I go, when I go
Hold tight, hold tight
Still just a kid with a heavy load
And rock and roll is a rocky road
But that's cool for 21
A long list of goals achieved
Tall tales to tell my son
That is cool for 21
Yeah, that's cool for anyone
But I don't drive, and I don't pay no board
This will only make it hard when I go
When I go, when I go
When I go, when I go, yeah
So I'm staying at home, yeah
'Cause to my neighbours
I'm fucking famous
My mother says she loves me
She tells me I'm not ugly
She thinks the whole world of me
She thinks I'm Superman
My mother doesn't under-
-Stand why I'm always angry
I know she don't deserve it
But she's just first in line
I don't respect myself
'Cause I can't respect myself
And I don't respect myself
'Cause I can't respect myself
And yeah, I heard every word that you said, oh
And your ideas, they all make sense, but I reject them
Well, how can I hope to earn your respect? Oh
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself
I don't respect myself
No
