Papa, why do you play all the same old songs ?
And why do your sing with the melody ?
Cause down on the street, something's going 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 danger and sence 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
Mama why do you dance to the same old songs ?
Why do you sing on the harmony ?
Down on the street, something's going 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 life long duet
And someday soon, someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your love 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
N'oubliez jamais
What is this game searching for love or fame
It's all the same
One of these days you'll 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
N'oubliez jamais
N'oubliez jamais
N'oubliez jamais
N'oubliez jamais
And why do your sing with the melody ?
Cause down on the street, something's going 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 danger and sence and never forget
N'oubliez jamais

Every generation has its way
A need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
