A song about a young person becoming aware of the world that they live in and how
they have to deal with it. It reminds me of the cliché
"There's never anything new, just variations of the old".

Papa, why do you play all the same old songs why do you sing with the melody
Cause down on the street something's going' on there's a brand new beat there's a brand new song
He said in my life, there was so much anger still I have no regrets
Just like you, I was such a rebel so dance your own dance, and never forget
.
N'Oubliez Jamais I heard my father say every generation has it's way a need to disobey
N'Oubliez Jamais it's in your destiny a need to disagree when rules get in the way
N'Oubliez Jamais

Mamma, why do you dance to the same old songs why do you sing only the harmony
Down on the street something's going' on there's a brand new beat and a brand new song
She said in my heart theirs a young girl's passion for a life long duet
Someday soon someone's smile will haunt you so sing your own song and never forget
.
What is this game searching for love or fame, it's all the same
One of these days you say that love will be the cure I'm not sure
