They mean to, and they do.
They fill you with all the dreams they had
And then you add a few.
They were brought up in their turn
By old fogies with no style.
Who in their time were sometimes strict
And sometimes laughed a while.
Handing down the mystery of life.
Deep meanings about the self.
Go out and take the world on
And do have kids yourself.
