The Shaggs were formed by their father who believed from a psychic that his daughters would form a popular music group. Said to be “a disciplinarian” by his daughters, this song’s eeriness comes from the robotic message that children must obey their parents.
Who Are Parents? Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some kids do as they please
They don't know what life really means
They don't listen to what the ones who really care have to say
They just go and do things their own way
[Chorus]
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who really care
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who are always there
[Verse 2]
Some kids think their parents are cruel
Just because they want them to obey certain rules
They start to lean from the ones who really care
Turning, turning from the ones who will always be there
[Chorus]
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who really care
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who are always there
[Bridge]
Parents do understand, parents do care
We must remember
Parents are the ones who will always understand
Parents are the ones who really care
Parents do understand, parents do care
We must remember
Parents are the ones who will always understand
Parents are the ones who really care
[Chorus]
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who really care
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who are always there
