[Verse 1]
You say I waste my life away
But I live it to the full
And how would you know anyway?
You're just mister dull
Why don't you get into the things we do today?
You could lose twenty years right away
So we say
[Chorus]
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
[Verse 2]
Every day you scream at me

Because I stay out late
Until your three-piece suit comes back in date
Get one thing straight
[Chorus]
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
[Bridge]
There's no communication
I'm tired of explanation
Is this message getting through?
You went through the same thing too

Let's rock n' roll
[Chorus]
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
We don't need, no
No no no no parental guidance here
[Outro]
Oh, no
One life, I'm gonna live it up
