Are you undone?
Do you wonder?
Erase my hands and I'll surrender.
I raise my hands and I surrender.
Got my kids' records out.
Got my Kiss records out.
I can't pretend anymore
That I am not a fathead, I'm not moved.
I can't pretend anymore
That I am not affected, I'm not moved.
Just the other day I heard of a soldier
Sprawling on some Indonesian joke that's going 'round.
Just the other day I heard a soldier
Falling off some Indonesian junk that's going 'round.
Everywhere on the inet has the wrong/misheard lyrics posted to this song. Spawling: def. That which is spawled; spit out. 'Spawling on' is not proper English, but used in slang form.

Mom and dad are f***ing on the couch.
Mom and Dad are talking on the couch.
Mommies are white, daddies are white
They just seem a little weird.
Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender,
but dont-cha go south for winter
Surrender, surrender,
but don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself a wedgie.
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away.
Surrender, surrender
The donkey goes south, away
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away.

Losers of the year?
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
You filled my head with European things.
You filled my hand with your opinions.
You've changed everything I believe in
And now I just can't right this wrong.
You've changed everything I believe in
And now I just can't fight this feeling.
