Teach Your Children
by
David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, & Neil Young
You, who are on the road
Must have a code
That you can live by
And so
Become yourself
Because the past
Is just a good-bye
Teach you children well
Your father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And give of tender years
Can't know the fears
That your elders grew by
And so please help
Them with your belief
They seek the turf
Before they can die
Teach your parents well
The childrens hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you

You who are on the road must have a code that you can live by,
And so, become yourself, because the past is just a goodbye.
Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by.
And feed them on your dreams, the one they pick's the one you'll know by.
And don't you ever ask them why, if they tell you, you'll just cry,
So look at them and sigh and know they love you.
And you, of tender years, can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so, please help them with your years, they seek the truth before they
can die.
Teach your parents well, their children's hell did slowly go by.
And feed them on your dreams, the one they pick's the one you'll know by.
And don't you ever ask them why, if they tell you, you'll just cry,
So look at them and sigh and know they love you.
