We heard a rumor that you got popped today
So you better not go... go back home today
'Cause you act your age, you get locked in a cage
And you, you're gonna get hurt one of these days
You better stay out of the way

Momma said that she's gonna take you to a shrink
Gonna fix up the way you think
Momma's tired, and she only wants the best for you

Consider your best years behind you
And all of the dreams inside you gone
Put the kids on dope

They got Jimmy, and they got Bobby, too
If you don't calm down, they're gonna get you too
The teenage lobotomy is doled out week after week
'Til you buy your dope in the street
'Cause drugs fix everything

Momma's bored and she wants to go out for a drink
So here's some pills to help you sleep
"Don't you know that I do this out of love for you?"

Consider your best years behind you
And all of your dreams inside you gone
Put the kids on dope

Momma thinks that she's gonna take you to a shrink
Try to mess up the way you think
She's so tired and she just wants the best for you

Consider your best years behind you
And all of the dreams inside you gone
Put the kids on dope
Put the kids on.
