La canzone è una critica verso la società moderna e benestante che impiega i propri soldi in cose superflue, dagli abiti sempre nuovi alle vacanze costose. Il ritornello parla di genitori con problemi finanziari che rassicurano i propri figli che non possono permettersi le stesse cose dei loro compagni, dicendo loro che è tutto ok; in fondo a loro non manca niente finchè hanno l'amore dai genitori, del cibo sul tavolo e un letto dove dormire.
Testo e Accordi
Re# Sib
When Mama said that it was okay
Re- Sol-
Mama said that it was quite alright
Re- Sol-
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
Fa
And it was ok
Re# Sib
Mama told us we are good kids
Re- Sol-
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Re- Sol-
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Fa
'Cause we were good kids
Sol-
Remember asking both my mom and dad
Sol- /La Sib
Why we never traveled to exotic lands
Sol-
We only ever really visit friends
Sol- /La Sib
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
Sol-
We never really went buying clothes
Re# Sib
Folks were passing on this stuff in plenty loads
Sol-
New shoes once a year and then
Sol- /La Sib
Out to play ball so we could ruin them
Re# Sib

Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad

I got enough loving from my mom and dad

When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood

The other kids were calling me a wannabe

The older kids they started bugging me
