Mom & Dad Gently Weep
Lyrics by Paul Walker, music by The Beatles (While My Guitar Gently Weeps)
I live with my folks in their home, in the basement
I live with my folks in their home, in the basement
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
I'm 40 years old, I’m a slob, I don't pay rent.
I'm 40 years old, I’m a slob, I don't pay rent.
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
I don't know why I should do laundry
I don't know why I should do laundry
can't even fold... my own clothes.
can't even fold... my own clothes.
I don't know how to put away dishes
I don't know how to put away dishes
Or even wipe my own nose.
Or even wipe my own nose.
My room is unkempt ‘cause I don’t do housekeeping,
My room is unkempt ‘cause I don’t do housekeeping,
While Mom and Dad gently weep
While Mom and Dad gently weep
I can’t do my chores ‘cause I’m too busy sleeping.
I can’t do my chores ‘cause I’m too busy sleeping.
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
I don't know why, they let me stay here.
I don't know why, they let me stay here.
They deserve better than this.
They deserve better than this.
I don’t know why, they’re always crying.
I don’t know why, they’re always crying.
Is it ‘cause I’m such a mess?
Is it ‘cause I’m such a mess?
I’ve no time to bathe because I’m on-line gaming,
I’ve no time to bathe because I’m on-line gaming,
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
While Mom and Dad gently weep.
I don't have a job, so I guess I'll be staying.
I don't have a job, so I guess I'll be staying.
Still Mom and Dad gently weep.
Still Mom and Dad gently weep.
