[Verse 1]
I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest
Or a Naval Academy grad
That was the way that my parents perceived me
Those were the plans that they had

[Verse 2]
But I couldn't fit the part
Too dumb or too smart
Ain't it funny how we all turned out?
I guess we are the people our parents warned us about

[Verse 3]
You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big
Or hopped a freighter south to Trinidad
And when they tried to draft me, I earned a college degree
Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad

[Verse 4]
But then I got a guitar, found a job in a bar
Playin' acid rock 'til I was numb
Tell me where are the flashbacks
They all warned us would come?

[Chorus 1]
We are the people they couldn't figure out
We are the people our parents warned us about
