Surrender Lyrics

Psychotic Youth

Mother told me, yes she told me

I'd meet girls like you

She also told me stay away

You'll never know what you'll catch


Just the other day I heard

Of a soldier's falling off

Some Indonesian junk

That's going 'round


Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away


Father says your mother's right

She's really up on things

Before we married Mommy served

On the WACs in the Philippines


Now I had heard the WACs recruited

Old maids for the war

But Mommy isn't one of those

I've known her all these years


Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away


Whatever happened to all this season's

Losers of the year

Every time I got to thinking

Where'd they disappear


Then I woke up, Mom and Dad

Are rolling on the couch

Rolling numbers, rock and rolling

Got my Kiss records out


Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away


Away...
