Joe Cocker

Papa, why do you play

All the same old songs

Why do you sing

With the melody

Cause down on the street

Somethings goin' on

There's a new beat

And a brand new song

He said

In my life, there was so much anger

Still I have no regrets

Just like you, I was such a rebel

So dance your own dance, and never forget

N'oubliez jamais

I heard my father say

Every generation has it's way

A need to disobey

N'oubliez jamais

It's in your destiny

A need to disagree

When rules get in the way

N'oubliez jamais

Mamma, why do you dance

To the same old songs

Why do you sing

Only the harmony

Down on the street

Something's goin' on

There's a new beat

And a brand new song

She said

In my heart there's a young girls passion

For a life long duet

Someday soon

Someone's smile will haunt you

So sing your own song and never forget

N'oubliez jamais

I heard my father say

Every generation has it's way

A need to disobey

N'oubliez jamais

It's in your destiny

A need to disagree

When rules get in the way

N'oubliez jamais

What is this game

Searching for love or fame, it's all the same

One of these days you say that love will be the cure

I'm not sure

N'oubliez jamais

I heard my father say

Every generation has it's way

A need to disobey

N'oubliez jamais

It's in your destiny

A need to disagree

When rules get in the way

N'oubliez jamais
