Surrender Lyrics
Artist: Cheap Trick
Album: Heaven Tonight
Surrender
Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
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.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
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.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry 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.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Away.
Away.
Repeat Chorus 7X

what is the real meaning of this song...can someone tell me please? I am in Asia, and heard this song online one day.
This song, really brings out!the beat on every young teenagers rockn dream. Oh my mom has been to every rock concert and knows all the songs, but this song and this band she just loves the most. hopefully I'll see them in concert one day.
i think that the theme of the song is very stupid
My boy friend has me listening to old school(he saved me from pop), and i love this song.
Live long and rock hard!!!!!!
one of my faborite songs...
"Surrender" Sounds great as the background music to Conan O'Brien's skit on 6-1-09 on his first night as host of the Tonight Show. This was the background music to Conan running across the country from New York to L.A. to make it on time to host his first Tonight show when he took over for Jay Leno.

TBD
I love this song i first heard it in the movie over the edge and now it's my favourite song
Look up the Simple Plan version. They really do this song well
naw mayn. dee originall is wat's up
why theres indonesian junk there?
Heard this song the first time in 1977. Cheap Trick (who?) opened for Boston in the Seattle Center Arena. We never heard of them but they rocked and this song was so catchy we were singing it at the top of our lungs all the way home from the show. (Boston who?)
This guys are way on from their 70's...they rip!!!!
Great opening, catchy lyrics. However I think I prefer "Dream Police" as the definitive Cheap Trick song.
i love this rocky...it's a beautiful song
I luv this song koz I luv Detroit Rock City the movie....
Alwalys reminds me of Fastimes/Ridgemont High Demone singing it when trying to sell tix to the concert "your mommys alright your daddys alright" Then Stacy tells him shes prego LOL
Excellent song and very strange lyrics
The lyrics were changed a long time ago for political correctness. The original lyric was "...the WACS recruited old maids, dykes and whores. Mommy's neither one of those...". You can still hear Robin sing "neither" in some recordings, even though it is not grammatically correct with the new lyric.
NIce but the guitar hero version is better
Hey Paul: I always thought there was something odd about the word "neither" in that line. It makes sense when you consider the original lyrics. Thanks for the trivia!
LOve dis song!!!All the way!!!
Love this song! hey! there's word : Indonesian! i'm indonesian :P
I am ten and I always played this on Guitar Hero and i always called it Mommy's alright Daddy's alright.
@Right: "mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years. That's wrong. it's mommy isnt neither of those."
I've always had a special hatred in my heart for those who feel the need to correct others' grammar, but it doth make me so happy when in so doing they prove that they know nothing about grammar.
sip
fuck to this song..
im indonesian, your all just can called we're junk, but your all is very stupid like monkey cause just can talk with my ass.. :p
#np american idiot!
Talk with my ass~
It's a disease!
Defry, they aren't calling Indonesian's bad.... Junk is slang in America. Indonesia is where that junk came from.
One of the best songs ever! Aids hpv! :O
I just heard this song on the radio. I'm 50 years old but this song never gets old. Current redefining of marriage notwithstanding (at least there's a mommy and a daddy)
This song is wow! I like:)
ive loved this song since skate
I love this song.
Saw them at a concert, and I don't think you can get any better then you and 100,000+ people chanting "WE'RE ALL ALRIGHT!" at the same time during this song
