Surrender Lyrics
Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day
I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
Away.
Away.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day
I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
Away.
Away.

This really is one kickass song, I liked the first one by Cheap Trick and now that Less Than Jake has redone it, it's really kickass. There's a ton of shit I can relate to in it and its awesome just to listen to.

It rocks alright, but what is it actually about?

I like this version better than the Cheap Trick version.

well it's the bonus song on a 13 track LP. call me crazy but there's a lot of wisdom about 2-week cycles in this wonderful masterpiece of an unbiased record titled 'anthem'. this song is like a huge paycheck to me.

wonderful cover of a cheap trick song...very true to the original...i dig it...
