I agree with lefty. I think you could sum up the song like this:

"You pushed me to achieve well at school, you were desperate for me to be successful in a conservative way that matches your aspirations, I rebelled but look at me now. I turned out OK didn't I? But actually, when I think about it, it was your support and encouragement that gave me my intelligence and creativity and my lucky start in life so I guess you aren't such a bad set of parents after all. I might sulk and shout, but I do appreciate you. And I know that you are proud of me too"
