Korean Parents - Randy Newman

Kids today got problems

Like their parents never had

Neighborhoods are dangerous

The public schools are bad

At home there are distractions so irresistible

The hours fly by

No work gets done

Some Jewish kids still trying

Some white kids trying too

But millions of real American kids don’t have a clue

Right here on the lot

We got the answer

A product guaranteed to satisfy

Korean parents for sale

You say you’re not all that you want to be

You say you got a bad environment

Your work at school’s not going well

Korean parents for sale

You say you need a little discipline

Someone to whip you into shape

They’ll be strict but they’ll be fair

Look at the numbers

That’s all I ask

Who’s at the head of every class?

You really think they’re smarter than you are

They just work their asses off

Their parents make them do it

Oh, learn to play the violin

Oh, to turn your homework in right on time

What a load off your back that will be

No tears

No regret

Never forget who sent Fido to the farm

The greatest generation

Your parents aren’t the greatest generation

So sick of hearing about the greatest generation

That generation could be you

So let’s see what you can do

Korean parents and you
