Randy Newman - Korean Parents Lyrics






Kids today got problems
Like their parents never had
Neighborhoods are dangerous
The public schools are bad
At home there are distractions so irresistible
The hours fly by
No work gets done

Some Jewish kids still trying
Some white kids trying too
But millions of real American kids don't have a clue
Right here on the lot
We got the answer
A product guaranteed to satisfy

Korean parents for sale
You say you're not all that you want to be
You say you got a bad environment
Your work at school's not going well

Korean parents for sale
You say you need a little discipline
Someone to whip you into shape
They'll be strict but they'll be fair

Look at the numbers
That's all I ask
Who's at the head of every class?
You really think they're smarter than you are
They just work their asses off
Their parents make the do it

[Saleslady:]
Oh, learn to play the violin
Oh, to turn your homework in right on time

What a load off your back that will be
No tears
No regret
Never forget who sent Fido to the farm

The greatest generation
Your parents aren't the greatest generation
So sick of hearing about the greatest generation
That generation could be you
So let's see what you can do
Korean parents and you

Randy Newman Korean Parents Comments
  1. H.... ....

    Favorite song from Randy Newman

  2. N.... G....

    He IS sooooo amazing!! ;-)

  3. L.... A....

    Nice commentary BUT the tune is way off Korean music.

    L.... A....

    Oh please .... this isn't directed AT Koreans or any Asian people groups - and it's certainly not intended to give a musical expression of actual Korean music! It's directed at AMERICANS and American kids to point out how immigrants with a work ethic EXCEL regardless of their circumstances, and "YOU" could too if you'd "work your ass off' like they do!

    L.... A....

    lmao forreal, pretty sure that was a a kabuki type theme (japanese)

  4. S.... D....

    1:00 min in HOLY SHIT LMAO

  5. A.... ....

    how does he get away with it ? lol
    fun song

    A.... ....

    Have you heard Redneck? More N-bombs than most rap songs lol

  6. M.... ....

    It has been 10 years since this album was released.
    I don't need to explain how perfect and exact this song is that could only come from Randy Newman.

    - From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.
