The Vapors — News At Ten

[Verse 1] Time's gonna make you a man someday And you won't want to go out and play with your friends You'll just sit at home and watch news at ten And the pubs'll be closed and you won't have been with your friends [Chorus 1] And he picks up the paper and appears to be quite serious And you smile at him and agree 'cause he's your old man But still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you) You make no sense to me Still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you) When the time comes, I'll disagree with your policy, your policy [Verse 2] And you get home from work, about half-past six You've been working real hard, and you feel real sick with the whole world And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up And your mom don't like it 'cause you messed her up for the evening [Chorus 2] So, you pick up the paper and appear to be quite serious And you smile at him and agree 'cause he's your old man But still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you) You make no sense to me Still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you) When the time comes, I'll disagree with your policy, your policy Your policy, your policy [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Time's gonna make you a man someday And you won't want to go out and play You'll just sit at home and watch news at ten And the pubs'll be closed and you won't have been And you get home from work, about half-past six You've been working real hard, and you feel real sick And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up And your mom don't like it 'cause you messed her up But you don't wanna sit tight, you don't wanna play it cool You don't want a whole life like the first day of school And I wanna fight wars, and I wanna die young So, don't keep saying "Like father, like son!"
