Papa, why do you play all the same old songs
           B                   Fm  
Why do you sing with the melody 
                     A                      E
Cause down on the street something’s going on
                      B                      D
There's a brand new beat and a brand new song

It's in your destiny 
                 E
A need to disagree 
                       B
When rules get in the way

N'oubliez jamais
