Surrender Lyrics - Velvet Revolver

Mother told me 

Yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you 

She also told me 

'Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch.' 

Just the other day I heard 

A soldier falling off 

Some Indonesian junk 

That's going round 

Mom is alright 

Dad is alright 

They just seem a little weird 

Surrender 

Surrender 

But don't give yourself away 

Away 

Away 

Father says 

'Your mother's right, she's really up on things.' 

'Before we married 

Mommy served in the wacs in the Philippines.' 

Now, I had heard the wacs recruited 

Old maids for the war 

But mommy isn't one of those 

I've known her all these years 

Mom is alright 

Dad is alright 

They just seem a little weird 

Surrender 

Surrender 

But don't give yourself away 

Away 

Away 

Whatever happened 

To all this season's losers of the year? 

Every time I 

Got to thinking, where'd they disappear? 

When I woke up, Mom and Dad 

Are rolling on the couch 

Rolling numbers, rock and rolling 

Got my Kiss records out 

Mom is alright 

Dad is alright 

They just seem a little weird 

Surrender 

Surrender 

But don't give yourself away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Mom is alright 

Dad is alright 

But don't give yourself away 

Surrender 

Surrender 

But don't give yourself away. 

Mom is alright 

Dad is alright 

But don't give yourself away 

Surrender 

Surrender 

But don't give yourself away. 

Mom is alright 

Dad is alright 

But don't give yourself away 

Away 

Away
