    Once You Understand by Think: http://www.top40db.net/Lyrics/?SongI...By=Year&Match=

    (Chorus continues
    Underneath entire song)

    Things get a little easier
    Once you understand
    Things get a little easier
    Once you understand.....

    I`ll be expecting you to
    Get a haircut by Friday
    (Forget it, Dad)
    (That won`t change anything)
    Forget nothing, you`ll do as I say
    As long as you`re living in my house

    He knows I`m not feeling well
    And yet he doesn`t take one
    Second out to help his mother
    His only concern is for himself

    (Come on, Ma)
    (What do you want from me)
    Don`t argue with your mother
    Just shut up and listen

    But, Mom, all my
    Friends will be there
    (I said, no, you can`t go)
    But why
    (I don`t want you
    In that neighborhood)
    Why, what`s wrong
    With that neighborhood
    (I don`t like the kind of
    People living there)
    Why, what`s wrong with them
    (Nevermind)
    (Some day, you`ll thank me)

    Are you sure no one kept you
    Company tonight while
    You were babysitting
    (What`s that supposed to mean)
    Just curious
    (Admit it, Mom, you don`t trust me)

    Where are you going now
    (To my friend`s house)
    Don`t you have things
    To do in the house
    Don`t you have any homework
    Why don`t you sit down
    And read a book (oh, ma)

    Don`t oh, Ma, me
    You`re wasting your life
    Away with the foolish things
    (What are you talking about
    How about your bridge club
    And your ladies groups
    And your parties and
    Your daytime programs
    What about all that)
    That`s different

    Ma, I`ll be home at eleven
    (You better be home at ten or
    Don`t bother to come home at all)

    When I was your age
    I was working twelve hours a day
    Six days a week helping to pay
    For the food and the rent
    (I don`t understand, what`s
    That got to do with me)
    If you can`t figure that out
    For yourself, you`re stupid

    Hey, Dad
    Did you see my new guitar
    I joined a group
    (Son, there`s a little bit more
    To life than joining a group
    And playing the guitar)
    Yeah, Dad, what is there to life

    Mister Cook (yes)
    You have a son named Robert
    Robert Cook, age seventeen (yes)
    I`m sorry, Mister Cook
    You better come down
    To the station house
    You son is dead (dead, how)
    He died of an overdose (oh, God)
