Lyrics Parents (the version the label wanted) by Justin Bieber

Blah!

I was born in a messed up century
My favourite flavoured sweets are raspberry—
I bought a car, Beretta, age 16
I brush my teeth with [...] cause I ain't got time for cavities
My daddy put a [?] to my neck
Said, "If you kiss a boy, I'm gonna fake your death"
So I t—
Then I went out to the garden and I [...] my best friend

'Cause my high hopes are getting low
Because these people are so old
The way they think about it all
If I tried, I would never know
My high hopes are getting low
But I know I'll never be alone
It's alright, we'll survive
'Cause parents ain't always right

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
watch my mum and dad laugh
They told me casual affection leads to—
But it's hard to get [...] when you're so used to rejection
Yeah, the teacher loved the preacher
But then he had to leave her
Had to wash away the sins of a male cheerleader
"Hi, nice to meet ya," got nothing to believe in
So let me know when my breathing stops

'Cause my high hopes are getting low
Because these people are so old
The way they think about it all
If I tried, I would never know
My high hopes are getting low
But I know I'll never be alone
It's alright, we'll survive
'Cause parents ain't always right

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Tick, tock, stop the clock
Because I get the feeling that I'm gonna get (gonna get)
Tick, tock, stop the clock
Because I get the feeling that I'm gonna get [...]

My high hopes are getting low
Because these people are so old
The way they think about it all
If I tried, I would never know
High hopes are getting low
But I know I'll never be alone
It's alright, we'll survive
'Cause parents ain't always right

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
