Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You say I waste my life away
But I live it to the full
And how would you know anyway?
You're just mister dull
Why don't you get into the things we do today
You could lose twenty years right away
So we say
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
Every day you scream at me to turn the music low
Well if you keep on screaming
You'll make me deaf you know
You always chew me out because I stay out late
Until your three-piece suit comes back in date
Get one thing straight
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
There's no communication
I'm tired of explanation
Is this message getting through?
You went through the same thing too
Don't you remember what it's like to lose control?
Put on my jacket before you get too old
Let's rock n' roll
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
Oh no
One life
And I'm gonna live it up
But I live it to the full
And how would you know anyway?
You're just mister dull
Why don't you get into the things we do today
You could lose twenty years right away
So we say
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no, no, no, no
Parental guidance here
Every day you scream at me to turn the music low
Well if you keep on screaming
You'll make me deaf you know
You always chew me out because I stay out late
Until your three-piece suit comes back in date
Get one thing straight
We don't need no, no, no, no

Oh no
One life
And I'm gonna live it up

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Great song. This is much better than any of the so-called "Teen Angst" songs of today. Just the real issues of the day...loud music. being lazy, etc. Very underated songwritters.
