You know, parents are the same, no matter time nor place
They don't understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
So tell you other kids all across the land
There's no need to argue, parents just don't understand
I remember one year, my mom took me school shoppin'
It was me, my brother, my mom, oh my pop,
And my little sister all hopped in the car
We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
My mom started buggin' with the clothes she chose
I didn't say nothin' at first, I just turned up my nose
She said, "What's wrong, the shirt costs twenty dollars."
I said, "Mom, This shirt is plaid, with a butterfly collar.
The next half hour was the same old thing
My mother buyin' me clothes from 1963
And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
I asked her for Adidas, and she bought me Zips!
I said, "Mom, what are you doin'? You'll ruin my rep."
She said, "You're only 16, you don't have a rep yet."
I said, "Mom, let's put these clothes back, please."
She said, "No. You go to school to learn, not for a fashion show."
I said, "This isn't shinin' armor, c'mon mom, I'm not bousers.
Mom, please put back the bell bottom, Brady Bunch trousers.
But if you don't want to I can live with that, but,
You've gotta put back the double-knit, reversable slacks"
She wasn't with it, everything stayed the same
Inevitably, the first day of school came
I thought I could get over, I tried to play sick
But my mom said, "No, no way, Uh-uh. Forget it."
There was nothin' I could do. I tried to relax
I got dressed up in those ancient artifax
And when I walked in to school, it was just as I thought
The kids were crackin' up, laughin' at the clothes mom bought
And those who weren't laughin' still had a ball
'Cuz they were pointing and whistling as I walked down the hall
I got home and told my momHow do you like it so far
Giddyap
I am your power and your pain
I'll make you gallop at my pace
Human pony girl
I am the monkey on your back
And we're going for a ride home
Human pony girl
Your nights are a season at my command
Human pony girl, heeyah
This is my highway, no limit enforced
There is no law, just
Feel my spur sink in your flank
Feel it, feel it, pony
Stomach sweat in your spine
Belly up, shoulders down, pony
Gonna take you someplace you ain't never been
That's right
Only you ain't never comin' back
I am the monkey on your back
I'm gonna ride you home
Little pony girl
I am the monkey on your back
I'm gonna break you home
Little pony girl
I am your power and your pain
I'm gonna make you race
Human pony girl
Giddyap
Gonna take you someplace you ain't never been
That's right
Only you ain't never comin' back
Gonna take you someplace you ain't never been
That's right
Only you ain't never comin' back
Giddyap
I am your power and your pain
I'll make you gallop at my pace
Human pony girl
This is my highway, girl
There is no limit
Your nights are a season at my command
My little pony girl
Feel it
Stomach sweat in your spine
Belly up, shoulders down
Pony, human, human pony girl, human, you girl
