Lyrics: “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 theres 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“.
