Growing Up

Ma cried like a lady

Pa cried like a man

1963 - one less kennedy

And I was too young to understand

And the years flew by in colours

Each one a little faster than before

And as the war caused some to cry

I'd identify

My tv keeping score

Growing up - in the shadow of the u.s.a.

Trying to find - the meaning of life today

America - it's a heavy kind of role you

Play

You're the hero - you're the villain

Your every move is on displayMa cried like a lady

Pa cried like a man

1963 - one less kennedy

And I was too young to understand

We were all too young to understand
