We Are the Parents (Our Parents Warned Us About) [Live in the Basement, 2017]

So this is
How we will
Bring in the
New year
Seagrass matting on a cement floor
I thought for sure
You already knew

Every pet
We ever had
Will come back one day
I sing this song so bad
But you can play along
With ice cream tubs for drums
Oh, yeah

I don't know how it started
I’ve got no idea how it will end
But we must have made a deal with someone
Either up above or down
We've scored one more night to
Make amends
We are the parents
Our parents warned us about

We can spell
"Scientist" correctly
And know all of your local
Codes exactly
Unless I'm mistaken, I can hear
The thunder near
Hey, hey, hey

I don’t know how it started
I've got no idea how it will end
But we must have made a deal with someone
Either up above or down
We've scored one more night to
Make amends
We are the parents
Our parents warned us about
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

(Ooooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-oooooh, waah-aaaah)
(Aah, aah-aaaaah)
(Ooooh, oooh-oooh-oooh)
