You left us in the cold, in 1988    And all of my respect has withered all away    My mom opened the door and took a look inside   To find that you had fled, disappeared into the night      So don't bother because we turned out okay    And we didn't need your guidance anyway    You're the reason we are who are today    And us for us, I guess there's no disgrace like home      We struggled through the years, confused and all alone    Waiting for the day we thought you'd come back home    We saw you once or twice, when you had the time    It's great to see that you've prioritized your life      So don't bother because we turned out okay    And we didn't need your guidance anyway    You're the reason we are who are today    And us for us, I guess there's no disgrace like home      I'd like to put this time to use    Apologize for all the words I've used   That hurt you   And I don't mean to be so rude   But you won't ever know about the things   We've been through      So don't bother because we turned out okay    And we didn't need your guidance anyway    You're the reason we are who are today    And us for us, I guess there's no disgrace like home
