I Am A Child Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Susi 

Cover art for I Am A Child lyrics by Neil Young

It could just be me but I think Neil Young wrote the lyrics sarcastically, whether he was trying to represent the angst between most any human and their parent(s), or more personally between himself and his own father, or perhaps as previously mentioned by winterlong, in retaliation to the song A Child's Claim to Fame.
