I wished the times equalled zero, yeah
This trope showed up like a big joke
That parents don't care what their children say at all
It blows
Each time they say "Not now, kiddo", oh, yeah
Never ends well, adults are dopes
Their bland discussion takes precedence above all
Oh-oh-oh-ho-oh-ooh

Why can't they humour them a small bit?
Feels rude to just dismiss 'em out of hand, you dick
You could be findin' somethin' really petty or end up findin' a big alien beast
Oh-oh-oh-ho-ooh, oh-oh-oh yeah

It's like playin' a fiddle, oh yeah
As the house burns, seen it before
Not that hard to treat me and leave this behind, does no harm
Oh-oh-ho-whoa-ooh

Won't hurt to listen to your damn kid
I'd rather learn it's nothin', have my time wasted
Than end up findin' aliens inside me, your kid would like it if nobody would bleed
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-ooh, ho

Gets worse if it's been established
That monsters, magic, whatever really exists (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Not right, not right (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh), not right, not right

Because if it's been established
That all that weird shit totally really exists
Then the denial that the kid is right seems (it seems) that parent's tryin' to gaslight 'em to me

Yeah-eah, that refrain of "Not now, kiddo"
Should be banned from all films and shows
