  • Papa, why do you play all the same old songs?
    Why do you sing with the melody?
    'Cause down on the street something' goin' on
    There's a brand new beat and a brand new song

    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 (never forget)

    N'oubliez jamais
    I heard my father say
    Every generation has its 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

    Mama, why do you dance to the same old songs
    Why do you sing only harmony
    'Cause down on the street something's goin' on
    There's a brand new beat and a brand new song

    In my heart there's a young girls passion
    For a life long duet
    And 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 its 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
    That's all the same
    One of this days you say that
    Love will be the cure
    I'm not so sure

    N'oubliez jamais
    I heard my father say
    Every generation has its 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

    Don't you ever forget our love (n'oubliez jamais)
    Every generation (n'oubliez jamais)
    In the sun (n'oubliez jamais)
    N'oubliez jamais
    Don't you ever, ever, ever forget (n'oubliez jamais) Writer/s: James Cregan, Russ Kunkel
