Lyrics

Papa, why do you play all the same old songs? Why do you sing with the melody? 'Cause down on the street, something's goin' on There's a brand-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 (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 (She said) "In my heart, there's a young girl's passion For a lifelong duet And someday soon, someone's smile will haunt you So sing your own song 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 What is this game Searching for love or fame? It's all the same (ooh) One of these 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 (Ah, ah, ah) don't you ever forget our love (n'oubliez jamais) (Ah, ah, ah) every generation has its own way (n'oubliez jamais) (Ah, ah, ah) in the sun (n'oubliez jamais) n'oubliez jamais (Ah, ah, ah) don't you ever, ever, ever forget (n'oubliez jamais)
